I had my computer programming class today. That means I was in the same room with about twenty five people who have love affairs with technology. Yes, I added myself in that number, but don't worry. Our frolicing was entirely legal and did not destroy our self image for years to come. No snide comments, please. Thank you.
When sitting with these future employers and six-digit makers, I noticed something very interesting - the general placement of their bodies. When making gestures (or doing anything with their hands, for that matter), it was in the sagittal plane, directly in front of them. Their heads were continuously forward, necks outstretched like a room full of ostriches. This has come from a lifetime of looking at a computer screen, hands outstretched to various forms of keyboards and mice.
Let the future beware. Soon, we of the computing clan will one day invade your streets, skin pale from lack of exposure to the sun, eyes blanked white with over exposure to vividly bright monitor screens, and our arms permanently stretched forward, groping at imaginary keys, inputing non-existant coding for the rest of eternity.
