WHAT ARE THE SIDE-EFFECTS OF THIS WEBLOG?
Mouse Rage Syndrome causes stress and anxiety
When reading this weblog did you experience quickening of the heart and profuse sweating? Have you furiously clicked and bashed your mouse? If so, you may suffer from the Mouse Rage Syndrome. A report published by the UK Social Issues Research Centre suggests that there is a link between badly designed websites and negative effects on human health. Badly designed websites can directly cause stress and anger amongst those using them.
Mouse rage is caused by websites that have slow to load pages, excessive pop-ups, unnecessary advertising, site unavailability and which are difficult to navigate.
The most important question for me, of course, is whether this weblog is designed or hosted so badly that it contributes to your stress. Is there room for improvement? I look forward to receiving your responses.
