Most of us spend quite a long time in front of a computer, either at work or at home. And quite often, after a long day at the office, we feel physically tired, stiff, lacking energy, and all of these because we rarely have a correct working position. But somebody thought at this aspect of our daily lives, and took the concept of ergonomic furniture to the next level.

Thus, HealthPostures has invented "Plasma 2System", an assembly of computer peripherals designed to supply a better position for the human body during the office activity. The system is formed out of the flexible Stance angle and the Plasma 2monitor and keyboard positioning unit. The main advantage of both systems is that their position and height can be very easily modified to fit the user's needs.

However, beyond the personal well-being, this new system is especially recommended for office environments, because, according to a study by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, workers who switched to an ergonomic workstation realized a 24% performance gain.

Jack Hockenberry, the system's co-developers, is very confident regarding its future. He believes that "Right now it's a quantum leap in how the human body interacts with the computer, but soon The Plasma 2System will be as common as the fax machine, employees will come to expect it." Then he goes on to say, "If you've been using a traditional static desk and chair -- based on technology predating electricity -- to interact with the latest computer hardware, you are missing a valuable competitive edge".
