So, 'Computeritis: The High-Tech Hazard' is this fascinating little documentary from '92 that dives into the not-so-glamorous world of carpal tunnel syndrome. It has a very raw, industrial feel, typical of the era's corporate safety films. You can feel the urgency in the pacing as it lays out the risks of repetitive strain injuries, but it also takes a slightly heavy-handed approach to the subject matter. The visuals are pretty straightforward, yet there’s something almost hypnotic about the way it illustrates the dangers of tech overuse. There’s a certain charm in its earnestness – it’s not flashy, but it gets the point across without too much fluff. Definitely a curiosity piece for those interested in the intersection of technology and health, that's for sure.
