Were humans meant to spend the majority of their waking lives inside cubicles and staring at computer screens?

Answer 1

Some humans were meant to professionally or pastimely spend some or much of their time in front of a computer screen. You may call it their karma, if you can't think of anything else.

Now, computers are tools, somewhat advanced tools or even still somewhat limited tools, and their screens are tools' tools, tools of tools, somewhat advanced, or not advanced enough, yet tools to be used for something that is supposed to be useful to its users.

Some people use a computer screen to see and even to process pictures, others to see what they compose or even their translation of some texts, others use their computer screen to see the way they play their games and also just to play those self-same games, others use their computer plus screen to compute some more advanced science, or to write computer programs that you would call software, others use their computer to communicate with others maybe near or maybe mostly far, others ...

There are many uses, even infinities of uses, imaginable and unimaginable, as you may imagine.

We may also, and even somewhat redundantly, agree here that computer screens may be used for good things, and professionally, and they may be used in a moderate and healthy way, for shorter or longer times in one's day, or they may be used as a habit for someone who may not think of anything else to dedicate his energy and his time, and his eyes, to.

There may be some sort of transcendental meaning behind all this that we may not be able to fetch nor grasp. Not yet, maybe never. But when all this has been said, one may switch off the computer-machine, and so go to eat some good food, and so rest a while with closed eyes, and then fiercely go somewhere, out, up on a green sun-kissed glowing flowery hill, or even on a mountain, even in the nearby of some water, and there sit down on the grass or on a boulder, and so use his/her own eyes, and also all the other senses, to freely surrender to the joy and beauty of the surroundings near and far, and also to reveries, to dreams of all the unimaginable glowing beauties of yonder infinities. Good luck to you!

If you believe in evolution, I think we were most likely meant to do the opposite. Supposedly, our forefathers were chimps and such. Thus, we're conditioned to be on the move and outdoors, not sitting on our duffs staring at screens which in the long run, may prove deliterious to our health.

I personally get tired when I'm sitting all day behind a PC... I need to go for walks. And I feel totally sluggish if I miss too many days without any form of exercise. Not a good feeling.

I wonder if farm laborers think that about their jobs and lives. I wonder if back in the day when North America was vastly covered with farm land, did the people who owned, lived & worked on them have similar thoughts?

No! We were also not meant to spend our days working on TPS reports with a cover sheet.
