Mostly thanks to the invention of the laptop. The era of digital nomads is in full swing, and people are packing their stuff up in suitcases, taking their laptops with them, hopping on the next train to Darjeeling, and working while crossing the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n<p>The possibility of taking your work with you has made people more active, less sedentary in life and experiences and free to explore as much of the world as possible.<\/p>\n<h2>However, this new age brought with it new obstacles to overcome<\/h2>\n<p>Never mind the restlessness and the inability to build long-lasting relationships, the nomadic era brought us back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome.<\/p>\n<p>As trivial as it may sound, most digital nomads are more likely to have back pain issues because of the way of life they lead than those of us that are sitting at home, sipping our hot cup of tea. User reports show that the support for the back should come in a roll of kitchen paper towels. Honestly, it saves lives! But that doesn\u2019t quite make up for the fact you start your retirement early.<\/p>\n<h3>But on a more serious note, have you earn considered that your eyesight and spine can deteriorate because of the laptop and the way you use your keyboard?<\/h3>\n<p>We thought not, so here is an article for you with a \u2018to be or not to be\u2019 question of the modern age: should one use a separate keyboard with a laptop?<\/p>\n<p>The main issue here is that while the built-in keyboard is super handy and doesn\u2019t take up extra space, it also doesn\u2019t help with back pain. In fact, it is one of the reasons for having it. Whether you are aware of it or not, you are slouching in front of the computer at this very moment. And if you are a good digital nomad &#8211; you are probably doing it for longer periods of time, too. Which means that your spine is in an incorrect position most of the day, resulting in horrible side-effects. Sure, you can argue that this will allow you to go to the Budapest Spa\u2019s and take healing baths, but would you rather invest in another keyboard and not have the issue at all?<\/p>\n<p>In the olden days, the keyboard would be a hefty piece of hardware that you would plug into your computer: they keys would fill up with dirt, they would fall in and never fall out &#8211; it was a nightmare. However, technology is evolving, and we now have the roll-up version of the keyboard, which can be very handy considering all the factors listed above.<\/p>\n<h3>Also, there is a medical reason: the distance between your eyes and the screen will increase, your elbows will have more room for support and your back and neck will be situated in a better position than before.<\/h3>\n<p>Overall, the difference those 20 centimeters will make for your health is inspiring. Not to mention that the customization possibilities for the keyboard are plentiful: from a specialized \u2018Photoshop hotkey\u2019 keyboard to the random color scheme.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s even more easier to keep track of both keyboards if you automate the process and use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/software\/driver-updater\/\">Auslogics Driver Updater<\/a>, a tool that will keep track of the scheduled and necessary updates for both keyboards\u2019 drivers. And no more back pain for you! Or a headache for that matter!<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2129 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/216.jpg\" alt=\"You can arrange or cancel a driver backup before updating your drivers.\" width=\"823\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/216.jpg 823w, https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/216-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fileinspect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/216-768x591.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, rules to live by when you are shopping for your new piece of equipment: your main display should be situated higher than the eyesight. Invest in better glasses, zoom in on your work. Do not lean in, always stay a little far back so that your neck is in alignment with your spine. Consider getting an adjustable set for your laptop. Some people have adopted the \u2018standing when working\u2019 motto, and we hear that has worked out well for them. In any case, sit tall or don\u2019t sit at all! Having a separate keyboard will eventually teach out of the annoying habit of slouching and will give you more freedom as to how to spend your time in front of the screen. We hope you take this matter seriously and look at it as an investment in your health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For most millennials, working from wherever and whenever has become a dream come true.
