...followed the instructions in the email, I would have 1) gotten giddy and then 2) submitted on the web the names of 10 seniors with whom I wish to share saliva. Then the anxious wait would begin until June 1st. That's when the entire information superhighway will be brought to a standstill by Harvard seniors checking the site to find who their matches are, just in time for the hot and heavy "Last Chance Dance" at the Roxy. You can imagine how this might create quite a stir in the ensuing weeks...

...sudden appearance of RSIs last year could perhaps be explained in terms of this sudden explosion in time spent at the computer. Today there seems to be an almost inverse relationship between age and computer literacy. My father takes about an hour to type out a paragraph-long email, I can with difficulty design a spreadsheet, my twelve-year-old cousin has his own website.

Podolsky sees this exponential growth in computer time behind...

"None of the Microsoftees that I ve met have RSI," she wrote in an email, "which is rather surprising, considering the pervasive Microsoft slouch. " Similarly incongruous is the report of Karen Gordon, at the Princeton University Health Center. This year she has seen "an increase in the number of cases reported both in students and employees." However, she adds, "from my understanding, we do not have...
...pain is imaginary. Like Rowland Quinlan with his searing back pain, RSI sufferers are not making anything up. But as Dr. Howard Fields, a neuroscientist at the University of San Francisco Medical School, explained, expectations might play a part in the perception of pain. In an email, Dr. Fields described the nervous system as unique in that it has what he called "intentionality." This philosophical term means, quite simply, that "it is about something other than itself." Specific neuronal impulses trigger perceptions that are then projected onto the body. "Your finger hurts," he wrote, "but really it is your brain...
