> What do you believe to be the social implications of the learning situation in which the ergonomics of the use of computers and I.T. are not given importance or relevance?

I am not sure of the social implications.  However, I think the comfort level in the room will enhance the success of the teaching.  If monitors and keyboards are not placed
at the proper levels and chairs are not comfortable and adjustable, the students may spend more time adjusting than participating in the lesson.  This may lead to situation
that would create off-task behaviour.
