2. Do you make sure that you sit and type correctly when you use a computer or typewriter? Do you ever have pains in any parts of your body from using the computer for long periods of time?
I´m not correctly sat in front de computer during all the time at which I am employed. But when I adopt a wrong position I´ve got a pain in my back. And then I correct the position.
