The application of computer technology and
the accompanying use of video display terminals (VDTs) are revolutionizing
the workplaces of America. In 1984, only 25 percent of the US population
used computers at work; in 1993, this increased to 45 percent, and
the number continues to grow. Also, more than 18 million workers
are in jobs that often require intensive keying. Along with this
expanding use of VDTs have come reports of adverse health effects
to VDT operators.
