Network: Inbox - How not to look at a computer screen
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Dear Sir,
The photograph in Network+ (6 January) of schoolgirls looking up at their computer screens is an excellent example of how not to view a video display unit.
Our visual system is programmed to view near objects in a downwards, rather than upwards or even in a straight-ahead, direction. If tower CPU cases were used instead of desktop units, the screen would be placed in the visually and ergonomically more comfortable position directly on the desk. The CPU could be placed alongside or on the floor, where it could still be locked for security.
