a lot can harm their health. You may know someone who has a computer-related
disease. That disease could be carpal tunnel syndrome, back problems,
eyestrain, or something else.

will get an opportunity to study two real computer-related health problems
and to share the information you find.
If you are ready to help yourself learn to
stay healthy while you use your computer as much as you want or need,
