More and more of our work and downtime requires us to slouch in a chair or perch atop a sofa; this has spawned a slew of posture-correcting concepts to remedy this unfortunate lifestyle development.
With the technology industry booming, people seem to be spending more time at their desks, fiddling away at their gadgets and inevitably finding themselves more and more contorted over the hours. There are many contraptions that aid our physical plight. Some examples of these products include variations of the ergonomic workstation (to prevent "Sitting Disease"), anti-slouch suits for exercise and leisure, as well as computer monitors that remind users to get up and take a stretch.
