My RSI Story
BymsanjayI’m write this as a record [approximate, based on old memories], of my RSI and all its consequences. If anybody already has the problem, then hopefully this should help. I think after all my research, I have many solutions! I know many people for whom this has occurred and dissapeared never to appear again. So its not necessary that any of this applies to you. But the solutions are good fun anyway, none of them involve any injections or bitter pills 😉

But I dislike the articles when they have titles like “Thyagarajan’s trail blazing invention”.
yeah I also found the first line kind of misleading “Who says Indians cannot come up with revolutionary inventions?” – afterall I can’t think of anybody important who’s ever said that, that it needs to be refuted 🙂 But anyway, I found the compression idea and his story quite impressive! Also the fact that he does not have a PhD.
that first line was misleading”who says…” but image compression is not new, its been out for a while.
