Problems solved by technology

Their design, therefore, can lend itself to pain, discomfort or injury to a human that carries the item.
In particular, stress to the lower and back shoulders and arms occur, such stress leading to significant injury over time.
When a person holds a heavy box, e.g., thirty pounds or more, either by handles embedded within the box or by its sides or bottom, and that person has a weak lower back, say from a previous back surgery, such holding can cause immeasurable pain and potential new injury.
