what's the correct computer posture?

[Kaido]

are you really supposed to hold your wrists above the keyboard while typing? I just let them rest on the plastic part of keyboard. I do a lot of typing and I don't want to end up with carpal tunnel or anything :

What about mouse and chair posture? I googled a bit and got a few different answers...what do you think is the correct way? I mostly slouch in my chair but my back's been starting to hurt, so I got a new, better chair and have been working on changing my posture.

Sit up straight, head straight up, arms forming a 90 degree angle with your wrists floating above the keyboard. Feet planted firmly on the ground with your legs forming a 90 degree angle. The top of the monitor should be at eye level. I think that's what my ergo class told me.

take your pants off, put one foot on each corner of the desk and cuff the carrot. i believe that's the most popular posture.

Hold the tissue in the hand opposite to the one you're "typing" with

 

[cjgallen]

Lying on the bed with laptop on chest, hand in pants.

Never, under any circumstance, type with your buttcheeks.

I normally lean back in the chair, feet on keyboard tray, with the keyboard (wireless) on my lap

Or with my chair turned around backwards, sit on the chair on my knees and hang over the chair.

Whatever I'm in the mood for
