A Spooky Halloween Costume, or Our Future Reality?

Images of a doll named Emma are surfacing across the internet.  Emma resembles a zombie office worker, but according to a recent report this is what the future office worker may look like in 20 years.  emma-office-worker-zombie

Emma’s physical appearance is an outcome of poor habits in the office.  Her hunched back and red sore eyes are a result of leaning forward and staring at the computer screen.  She has developed varicose veins from sitting down most of the day and her sedentary lifestyle has also contributed to her protruding stomach.

According to the report, 90% of office workers in the UK suffer from health issues and are performing poorly at work.  An astounding 50% reported eye problems and 49% had back pain. 

The report is calling for radical changes to our working lives or this scary image will be our future reality.
