I don't understand why, considering we have had DSE for well over 30 years, we aren't already like this? Given that knowledge around the health issues caused by poor work station ergonomics has only increase during this time, you would think the dmaage would have already been done to those that started using screens back in the 80s (70s?). We should already see these people walking around everywhere. Of course I am not saying that health complications from a poor work areas don't exist, I am just not sure what this sort of hyper inflated model achieves.

Its not the presence of DSE but its design. At the outset of the regs there were small fixed position monochrome screens which over time have increased in size and colour pallet.
Wind forward the decades since the DSE regs were published and a majority of society are now transfixed with their personal glowing screens - I will contend that it is this equipment that is leading to the slope shoulder Even more so when society encourages poor posture outside the workplace by providing user paths so that they can walk without lifting their head and eyes up

Evolution is so slow we will all be wiped out by global warming and sea level rising before we end up looking like that!!

Ha, I can't get the picture out of my head of apes and homo sapiens evolving through the ages from a crouch to walking upright. Which of course is not a true historical account of mankind, merely an allegorical metaphor. Perhaps we are going backwards now - Lol

So in the future office workers will be defined by their posture and pale complexions, the more hunched and pale they are then the harder they have worked.
I have come to the conclusion after years of being a DSE Assessor that the DSE regs are a bit of a waste of time as (attempting) to manage this in the workplace is negatted by the prevalance of devices throughout the rest of people lives.
We can talk about posture, support and posisting of peripherals until we are blue in the face, but as soon as they are away from the workplace most people will slump over a glowing screen until they fall over or nod off.
