If you’re anything like me, your increasingly computerized life has wreaked havoc on your posture. If only I were more muscular, I could have been the model for that poster that parodies Darwin’s Ascent of Man: hunched over a computer like a chimpanzee. Thankfully, Philips is coming to my–to our–rescue. The company is putting out a desktop display called the ErgoSensor Monitor, reports Wired. Using a built-in CMOS sensor and software from DigitalOptics, the ErgoSensor Monitor detects whether you’re slouching, and whether you’re sitting too close to, or too far from, the monitor. Then, just like we want our technology to do, it chastises you. The monitor also sports something Philips terms, semi-illegibly, the SmartErgoBase.
