» Irene Taylor - Weight Gain and Technology

Hi Beth,

I love this article! Just this morning we saw a report about how overweight our children are - and undoubtedly this is a major factor! Compare the child of today with the child of even 10 years ago - how much more sedentary they've become!

And - this most likely applies to us as well - explains my creeping weight gain over the past few years - LOL!!

Terrific article!

Irene

Beth, there is also concern about physical problems from being on computers so much at school and after school. With so many schools putting textbooks on laptops, we don't know what that is going to do to students as far as carpal tunnel, vision, etc.

Irene,

Yes, I think I have experienced a bit of weight gain due to my time on my computer, combined with my longer commute!

Barbara,

Thanks for the idea--a future article!
Posture problems also, and I am going to share that I have developed a dry skin problem from my laptop (on my, uh, laptop!).
