The word backrest presents several extended references in our language, on the one hand, it designates that part of a chair in which the people who sit in it supports the back, on the other hand it is used in a symbolic sense to give an account of the moral support that someone represents for another, and in certain contexts, such as the right, financial, among others, is used as a synonym for guarantee.
Part of the chair in which whoever sits supports his back and reports comfort
One of the most widespread references is the first one that we mention and that refers to what endorsement is that part of a chair, a Bank, a bed, an armchair in which the individual can support his back to feel more comfortable.
Design versus ergonomics
Although on some occasions the design beats comfort, the ideal is that the design of the backrest is made in line with the original premise of the backrest, which is to provide the person a comfortable support and rest for their back and their joints, although, of course, many times this situation is relegated to the background and in order to design something exotic and unique, Many times, we find the backs of chairs, armchairs, beds and benches that are really uncomfortable and that can cause severe damage to our spine as a result of the lack of ergonomics.
It should be noted that the ideal posture implies minimal tension and minimal expenditure of Energy, that is, what was done there should guide the design of the backrests.
Ergonomics is precisely that discipline which deals with studying both the capacity and the psychology of the human being in relation to his work and the machinery and furniture that he uses in the realization of the same, to try to improve them, and for case, make work activity more effective and comfortable in question.
Moral or monetary support that one person provides to another in need
On the other hand, the word endorsement is used to designate the moral, material or physical support, the protection and the guarantee that someone or something provokes another individual and therefore it is that they choose it. “Having the support of Mariano is great news for our sales project. The police asked for support to disarm the criminals. The minister was endorsed by the president when summoned for the special minister's dinner. His family supported the decision to separate.”
In other words, in this sense, support can be associated and equated with the notion of containment.
There are people who at certain moments in our lives play a role of emotional or monetary support, according to the needs, for example, a mother with respect to her child who suffers an illness, a priest for a faithful who is mourning the loss of a loved one, or an uncle who offers us his guarantee house so that we can rent one property; This property acts as a guarantee for the owner to quietly rent the house to us.
Normally when we are going to rent a home, or to request a loan from the bank, they ask us for financial support in order to protect themselves from a possible payment default and for case they have a guarantee to be executed when that happens.
Backup made of computer files or cell phone content
And also, in the area ofComputing, we find a reference to the word support, since in that way the backup or copy of safety that is carried out on a specific file or on several, which are considered essential for the user.
That is, this copy will act as a backup in case, for example, the computer broke or someone stole it, allowing us to access it regardless of the machine.
Normally, backup copies are stored on DVD, CD, Pen Drive or hard disk, always independently from the original file.
Currently, and as a consequence of the fantastic development and presence of cell phones in our daily lives, we use them as personal computers, is that these devices also offer the possibility of making backup copies or backups so that in case of happening some failure, or worse, that they are stolen, to be able to have a copy of all its content: contact numbers, data, special information, among others.
