I used to have pretty serious lower back pain. Two things helped me out quite a lot, and you don’t need a doctor for either.

1: Exercise the lower back. Pain in the lower back is caused by muscle weakness.

2: Getting a different job. Yea it turns out that sitting at a desk for 12 hours causes hecka bad back pain. Although I’ve heard that sitting in a backless chair or yoga ball can help, since leaning against the back of your chair is what causes the miscle weakness.

Edit: Obviously this is just what worked for me; it might not be effective for people that have unusual causes like injury and stuff.

A few weeks ago, my parents complained that the laptop kept going to a “screensaver” while they were trying to work on it.

So I changed the screensaver setting from like 3 minutes to 15 minutes… but it kept happening. I knew something was up when they said “well it wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t have to reopen the Internet every time.”

Guys… it was a touchscreen laptop. They were grabbing it by the corner and closing out the window. 😆 And one of these people showed me how to make a website in HTML when I was younger…

Are we all doomed to be daft in our old age?

Social media is a double edged sword. It connects but also isolates… informs but also decieves. Entertains, but also cripples.

It’s crazy to think that things were so different even just 15 years ago. Maybe one day we can once again have a wholly positive relationship with this technology. But first, I think, we have to break the addiction.

In other words, I think this is a good start.
