This charming computer I'm on has a piece of software called WorkPace 3.0. In order to safeguard my health and safety, if I type or use other computer operations for twenty minutes or more consistently, it enforces a break in activity, and gives me helpful hints on which exercises I should do.




It is driving me up the wall.

Is that one of the excercises it recommends? *blinks*

I would go postal at such a thing :P to say I spend more than 20 mins at a time on a computer is something of an understatement...

No, though blinking is an exercise. Really.

When it wants to give you a particularly long break there is a handy 'postpone' feature, but it'll only let you use it once...

It also logs how active you are, and gives you a rating out of ten on how hard you are working.

Imagine if they did that with driving.
Enforced OH&S. Another of the unintelligent things modern society has to offer. Next up is enforced dieting.
