Think!!!

Apparently it takes medical research and the advice of an M.D. to clue people in to the fact that many of the gadgets we use so constantly these days (she says as she sits at her computer), may not be that great for us! There was a piece on the Today Show yesterday about how people's hands cramp and their necks get horrible crinks from texting and bending at an awkward angle over their Blackberries; how hearing is being affected--adversely--by the loud, close-range barrage of music from i-pod buds inserted into ears; how backs, necks, hands and wrists are twisted because of lack of ergonomic correctness at the computer.

What worries me most about the above "reveleations" aren't the facts, themselves, but that money was spent researching this bit of self-evident information, because the general populace is too eeeeeediotic to realize this on their own, and then--heaven forbid--actually do something about it. Good God, wake up! You'll be amazed what you can learn if you pay just a little attention to what you do every day. Neck hurt? Ears ringing? Bum too big? There are probably little changes in your life that will not only reverse the symptoms, but also make you a lot happier. Just think...and stop being so damned lazy!!!

Lecture over.
