A Terrifying Glimpse At What Office Workers Could Look Like In 20 Years
Hunched back. Dry, red eyes. Swollen wrists. Hairy noses and ears. Those are just a few of the effects office works of today may experience in the next two decades if current workspace conditions persist.
Meet
Emma, a life-sized representation of what the average office worker may look like by 2040. Emma was designed by the UK-based Fellowes, a company that manufactures office supplies and workstation goods, who teamed up with a Behavioral Futurist and panel of experts in ergonomics, occupational health and wellbeing at work to compile a report detailing the future health effects from current working habits in the UK.
If current conditions are left unchecked, their
research suggests that inadequately designed workstations exacerbating poor posture will lead to permanently
bent backs from sitting
hunched over a desk for long periods of time. Workers will also see varicose veins from poor blood flow due to sitting for long periods of time, red and dry eyes from staring at computer screens, swollen wrists from repetitive movement, hairy ears and nose from poor air quality, and irritated, sallow skin riddled with stress-related eczema.
