While we certainly need to take care of our bodies, it would be helpful if we reinvented computers enough so we aren’t hunched over our computers all day.
I sit relaxed with a tablet in my lap and use an Apple Pencil when possible.
Of course, it’s not a great productivity device but at least it’s a slightly different position.
Voice, cameras or radar for gestures, etc could be used to augment computing devices.
4 hours a day with a keyboard and the rest standing or sitting back using a different method of interface would be better.

- dahart 6y agoIf I could write code and attend meetings while I walk around, I’d be out walking and hiking all day. I’m imagining some fantasy where I could wear lightweight AR sunglasses and use gestures and/or voice control and somehow be able to do everything I do with my desktop. I’m not sure it’s realistic even ten years from now, but I’m also not sure this kind of setup is out of reach either. I use standing & treadmill desks on and off. They’re good for taking care of my body, but take effort to use consistently, and have some tradeoffs.
