Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Position To Work For Long Hours?

Posted by timothy on from the no-single-best-answer dept.

New submitter damitr asks: "What is the most ergonomic position if you are working with a laptop or a desktop (with or without wireless keyboard and mouse) for long hours at stretch? Is bean bag for sitting with a laptop a good option? What is the best way to use a desktop without causing tennis elbow and backache/neck problems?"

    Yeah, the simplest answer is to keep changing positions. And take a break every 30 minutes.

    I am choosing to live with ugly veins.

    Not just ugly. Varicose veins divert returning blood to recirculate and pool in the lower legs. Consequences can include blood clots, edema, and (in my case) tissue necrosis leading to ruptured Achilles tendons.
