How is computer use affecting our health?

On the next Your Call, we'll talk about how our minds and bodies are affected by our increasing use of computers and digital devices. 70% of the U.S. workforce now sits on the job, many in front of computers. From repetitive stress to eye strain to depression, scientific studies show that we need to take better care of ourselves. How is your body and well-being affected by computer use? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. Could this be a public health issue? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar.
