What is the meaning of the word “ergonomics”? Why should we be concerned about proper ergonomics when we are using a computer?


The study of the relationship between workers and their environment, esp. the equipment they use.

Your company could not only suffer from lower productivity, but your employees could also suffer serious, debilitating injuries from office related Cumulative Trauma Disorders. These are caused by prolonged repetitive motion, such as a data entry operator would experience working at a keyboard five days a week.

The most common CTD, or at least the one making the most headlines, is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). This painful condition is caused by repetitive wrist-hand motion which irritates the tendons in the wrist. These tendons then swell, compressing the median nerve which runs through the same narrow channel in the wrist - the carpal tunnel. The pressure on the median nerve causes tingling, numbness, and severe pain in the wrist and hand. CTS pain can be so severe that sufferers are totally unable to perform their job functions.

Well... Honestly for me nothing is hard. The project was just to easy for me, because I'm a BOSSHOG. However, it was practically impossible for my retard partners Eric and Ramiro.

Music Choice and Why?


I would pick "This is the Way I Live," because the slideshow shows what goes on at westside on a regular day, and this song sort of gives you the same message.

About Me

My name is Parker Hood. I'm a senior. I would describe myself as outgoing, smart, and panther. My favorite subject in school is science, because it's interesting. My least favorite subject is English because I don't like reading or writing. Outside of school I like to play Wii sports. When I work in groups I don't like to be the leader. I consider myself outgoing. School really bugs me.
