Ergonomics

Picture from here

Ergonomics is the study of how the human body uses it's work space and it's equipment. Some of my bad habbits are resting my wrists and having bad posture. Our workstations here at school are not ergonomicly sound because the chairs do not support your back, raise and lower, or have armrests. People should sit up straight when typing, not have their wrists resting,and have their elbows parallel to the keyboard. I think if every work station at places were ergonomicly sound not as many people would have headaches, pain in wrists, elbows, fore arms, neck, or wrists. Every work station should have ergonomicly sound stations because less people would have pains.

The Advantages and disadvantages of Google Maps

  I believe that pictures should be blurred and distorted if it is necessary to do so. I don't think that people should be allowed to view images of the presidential offices or government buildings for security purposes. Google Maps is very useful for finding locations of places to go, but people aren't allowed in presidential offices or government buildings so I do not think it would be necessary to view the buildings or absolute addresses of them anyway. I also don't think people should be able to view other people's houses because there could be privacy issues. Most people would not like a stranger seeing their houses or addresses on the Internet. Although there are many disadvantages of Google Maps I also think showing the images would be helpful if the people are lost and were trying to find there way somewhere on-the-go. Also if the person knew the address but wasn't sure what the address of the place they were going they would be able to see and eventually find the location. Google Maps is very useful for people's convenience in finding places but also an inconvenience for random people searching their homes and locations.
