Wow, I am 36 and I consider myself very lucky. Never had any real carpal tunnel / RSI complaint in my life. But I tend to move around alot whatever I do. Take my hands from the keyboard whenever I am not typing just moving around I guess.... I believe that might actually help prevent such complaints, as a medical doctor turning shrink it's not my specialty but I believe that prolonged use of limbs in the same posture can cause minute circulatory problems or minute injuries because of prolonged pressure on tendons and other body parts resulting in inflammatory responses because of that. Moving around, improving circulation will help prevent such damage.
People - when working behind the computer or playing videogames - tend to become so preoccupied by what they're doing that it's easy to neglet early warning signs from your body such as: discomfort and even pain or stiffness.
