Sci-Tech Today had an interesting article on the rapid increase of PDA related injuries. It would seem to me that this is a perfect time for voice recognition to come to the rescue ...
In part, the article said:
Frank Morris, a lawyer in Washington, D.C., says employers need to develop policies on PDA use. They also face a liability risk because some employees could argue they're entitled to overtime if a staffer is expected to use a company-provided PDA after work hours.
Employment lawyers are warning companies they could face liability or workers' compensation claims related to employee injuries from personal digital assistants.
The American Physical Therapy Association in Alexandria, Va., and other occupational organizations warn that improper use and overuse of personal digital assistants (PDAs) can lead to hand throbbing, tendonitis and swelling, a condition known as BlackBerry Thumb, named after the popular PDA.
