As sites like Digg, StumbleUpon, Facebook, Twitter, Plurk & MySpace infiltrate the internet - thousands of hours are wasted daily.

Thousands of teenagers flock to their computers to see who’s left them a new MySpace comment, and Tech Geeks & “newsphiles” across the globe spend countless hours using Digg & StumbleUpon to promote and bookmark the latest articles, videos, and images popping up on the internet.

Internet users travel cyberspace at incredible speeds - and only a few seconds are permitted in grabbing a visitor’s attention.

When writing articles for any web endeavor - it’s best to focus on developing simplistic writing, while still generating meaty, useful pieces. Visitors don’t have time to analyze an article in order to pull out the pertinent information.

Saliva oozes from mouths, which hang slightly agape. Hazed over eyes stare lifeless into whirring “light” boxes. Backs unnaturally slump like old witches from children’s fairy tales. This is the scary description of how most of us look while working at the computer.

Humor aside – taking care of your body and engaging in proper posture, eating well, and participating in frequent breaks is of utmost importance when one spends long hours sitting at a desk, working with the computer.

Signs of improper computer usage are neck pain, burning sensations in the wrists, eye strain and tiredness, and many other symptoms which can ultimately impair computer usage and work – which creates a more stressful, uncomfortable work experience.
