Re: Tablet-related injuries

Hi guys,

I saw this story (link below) and it made me think about the potential threats from tablets and if my own usage would ever get me injured

Tablet-related injuries

Have you ever injured yourself with a gadget?

I dropped my old iPhone on my foot and it wasn't pleasant!

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. So Ive been told

Used to suffer a bit on with Blackberry claw when I first got the BB but I just swapped hands and it went away.

Though the guy in that article makes you wonder why he needs a laptop and tablet, swapping between the two. Guess nothing to do with lugging all that stuff around causing back injuries hasn't been mentioned. Looking at the video, he's got a great big Mac as well and no doubt an iphone so makes me wonder if there is too much tech to use.

laughingly the end bit about getting a stylus, stand and keyboard kind of makes you wonder why the reporter just didn't say "get a laptop instead".

How confused would you be if you went to the doctors with RSI from using a tablet and he told you that the only cure was to swallow a tablet?

Probably the same as all those emos who watched far too many hours of cutise teen-vampires on TV - and now they're all having to wear square glasses.

Swallowing a Galaxy Tab would be quite an achievement.......

After what I've eaten in the last week or so, I reckon I could give a good try.
