Don't Make Your Colleagues Motion Sick!

It's not just cars and boats and Ferris wheels that can make you feel green around the gills ... screens can also make you feel motion sick.

I learned this the hard way recently during a Zoom meeting where one person was walking and another was holding their phone so that it wobbled along with their breathing.

After the meeting, I looked it up and — sure enough — it's a real thing. The official name is Cyber Sickness.

About one in three people are prone to motion sickness. You can take care of them by making sure your screen and camera are firmly anchored in one spot while you're talking.
