If you are not sitting comfortably with the correct posture then you could develop back problems. The same applies to your arms and hands, it is possible to get RSD (Repetitive Strain Disorder) or carpel tunnel syndrome.

probably can't be too healthy.oh well

Sure it could. You aren't getting the exercise that your body needs if you just sit at the computer all day. Yeah, it makes my wife crazy and wanting to kill me !

not so great on your eyes or your social life. not to mention carpel tunnel..

I hope not, 'cause that's what I do for a living. I get headaches every now and then if I don't take a break. and neck pain too.. but that's about it (or at least I hope)

bad for your eyes and wrists Yeah! it's very bad for your eyes!

cough cough splutter NO

You should probably get some exercise, fatty.

Too much of anything is bad. your eye sight, you need to rest them for at least 5-10 min. I take a break every 30min.

I dont think its all that bad but sitting in front of a stripper for hours is damaging to your relationship.Just use a silk screen and dont sit right up to the screen as it brings on eye strain and back problems.

3)my right palm has a gottron pad, because of constant frictio between my skin and table while using the mouse
