Brain Drain!

December 12, 2008

Just to warn all of my readers that sitting in front of the computer for several hours non-stop can lead to the severe syndrome which I call brain drain.

Computer Drained Brain

The symptoms are: exhaustion in your limbs, dryness of eyes, purposeless surfing of Internet, unstoppable clicking, dragging, scrolling, head tilting to one side.

Most common consequences are: numbness in body, slow reactions, nausea, flu, cold, indigestion and inertia of your brain. Your brain stops working properly, information is coming in with slower rate and most of it gets lost along the way, and your response to it becomes irrelevant and not audible. Your brain simply drains out!

Cure: throw the laptop away! Well, not to that extreme, but try to stand up at times and change your activity to something more engaging and attention grabbing for that moment, eg drawing, reading, chatting (real, not online!) to people via phone or face to face. Helps, tested on me, not animals.

Don’t let the computer suck all your brain out of you!
