User Interface and Carpal Tunnel - Tech Solutions?

Posted by Cliff on from the something-different-than-the-usual-ergonomics dept.

the_REAL_sam asks: "I've been using computers since the apple 2+. I've played many games, and worked in silicon valley. I can't even guess how many hours I've logged at a keyboard. Now I'm 32 years old, and my hands sometimes shake and get numb after using a keyboard/mouse for too long. So I'm asking Slashdot what, if any, affordable technology exists to circumvent the traditional (potentially RSI-inducing) means of human-computer interface."

    Learn to play a musical instrument. Seriously. Most people I know who are in IT and play tend to have wrists in perfect shape. Both guitar and using a PC tend to cause RSI, but switching between both seems to counteract the effect.
