  • Part 2: When Human Met Desk

    Part 2: When Human Met Desk
    Nov 17 2023
    In part two: host Manoush Zomorodi delves into how we met and fell hard for the personal computer—and why we continue to have this committed, yet tortuous relationship. We hear from historian Laine Nooney on how the computer revolution forever changed the way we use our bodies at work, at school and at home.

    Manoush also visits the Exercise Testing Laboratory at Columbia University Medical Center where researchers collect data on how her body responds to a day of sitting compared to a day of constant movement breaks.

  • Part 3: Why Our Eyes Are Elongating

    Part 3: Why Our Eyes Are Elongating
    Nov 17 2023
    In part three: host Manoush Zomorodi explores how our tech habits are causing our eyes to change shape—to elongate—which causes nearsightedness. She investigates why rates of myopia among kids are soaring. She also speaks with Maria Liu, an optometrist with a quest to slow down the progression of myopia in children by opening the first ever myopia control clinic in the United States.

    Later in the episode, we hear from a team of employees who tried incorporating "movement snacks" into their days for one week.
