The average office worker will spend almost 1,700 hours a year in front of a computer screen, a poll has found. A study into screen time at work has revealed office workers will spend an average of 6 and a half hours a day sat at their computer or laptop. But this overexposure to digital screens is taking its toll with 37 per cent of squinting office workers admitting to having to make the text on their computer screen larger in order to see it. 一项民意调查发现:上班族每年盯着电脑的平均时间为1700小时。一项有关屏幕时间的研究揭示:上班族平均每天使用电脑的时间为6个半小时。但长时间盯着电脑屏幕使37%的上班族总是眯缝着眼,他们承认需要在电脑屏幕上放大文字才能看得清。 And one in four have had to move their screen closer to them to bring their work into focus. Katie McGeechan from ACUVUE, which commissioned the research, said: "Computers are a relatively new concept - for millions now, staring at a screen all day is the norm. However if you look back just a few decades, far fewer of us would have spent the day looking into the same glowing rectangle, and when you add mobile phones into the mix, we're putting our eyes through a lot every day." 四分之一的人需要靠近电脑屏幕才能聚焦。安视优的Katie McGeechan进行了这项研究,她说:"计算机是一个相对较新的概念--但现在,对于成百上千万的人而言,整天盯着电脑屏幕已成常态。然而,回顾过去几十年,整天盯着这个发光矩形机器的人则少了很多,如果再加上玩手机,那眼睛可就受累了。" |
