Internet: Can you speak the language?

ISP and URL went phishing online and found a cookie, so they downloaded an anti-virus to fight browser the turtle. They planed to cache a host of hackers to get a refreshed world wide web without cybercrime, but their bandwidth failed and their wi-fi crashed into a blog. They used a hyperlink to pull their wifi out of the blog and set out on a search for internet god 'Shareware', but the hackers found them first and ran them over with a trojan horse virus.

Where does the time go?

Most of my time is spent towards sleeping, school, socializin, television, texting, and taking care of my animals. At the end of the week i dont really have time for anything else. What I should include more time into studying and less into socializing, television, etc. Other elements I need to include in my time is studying and, although I dont really need more time for this, spending more time with friends.

Ergonomics

Ergonomics is a healthy workstation. The reason it is so important is because it can cause injuries such as, carpal tunnel, back pains, and arm pain. Billions of dollars were spent on workers compensation because so many people have unhealthy workstations. The best position for your chair is a comfortable, like  slouching or a reclined, position so that your back is resting easy, and your feet need to be resting on the ground. The best position for the key board is a negative slope, or below desk level. Your mouse needs to be next to your keyboard. The computer moniter needs to be as far away as possible as long as you can still see. Lighting doesnt need to be too dim because it can cause neck, back, and eye strain and also cause headaches. Movement is the most important activity because if you don't it can cause bad posture, stiffness,and other injuries because not moving is the worst thing for your body.
