Ergonomics : Ergonomics (more specifically, physical ergonomics) is the design of equipment and environments that fit the user. When equipment, such as work areas, computer screens, keyboards, and chairs, doesn't fit, problems like neck pain can occur. Solutions can include special "computer glasses" (and avoiding bifocals -- they are designed for lap readers and if used for upright monitors, they cause weird neck positions), changing lighting, moving monitors, adjusting chairs, and changing lighting. A google search using the terms "computer ergonomics" produces hundreds of websites, including the one at osha: http://www.Osha.Gov/sltc/etools/computerworkstations/.

Posture: Spondylosis basically means arthritis of the spine. This occurs naturally with the aging process. Some patients are genetically predisposed to this condition while others aren't. Proper sitting posture with a good lumbar support can help reduce strain on your neck and hopefully reduce your chances of early spondylosis.
