is is hamful for harmful to stay online for a long time???

I used to have this good friend and his dad would control his internet usage time like check history results and all. I think that's a bit mean, but I was in no position to say. Does your dad do that too? I hope not, as long as he just nags, I think should be alright. Sometimes they have our interests at heart, but if you could explain like why you need to be online for a long time, perhaps he would understand. Try to assure him that as soon as you feel the strain, you promise to stop.

Your dad is right.Its harmful to the health and to the computer as the modem or cpu,sometimes,gets overheated and will cause problems.Besides your eyesight will be affected.Its okay to be on the net for a limit of time,say,1 or 2 hours.Not more.

yes,your father is right.Standing on the computer for long time is harmful to your health.Sometimes i stand the computer for long time,i fell my eye is very tired.And it not only hurt your eye but also other part of your body.So i think it is better not to stand online for long time.

YES your father is right and he really cares you,so don't be angry. Staying online too long is harmful to our health,especially to our heart,skin and eyes. If you really need much time online, you can make break time for rest. Anyway,take care and happy everyday!

Yes, I think being on the computer for too long can be harmful- too much of anything can be harmful to people. Spending a lot of time online can take away time for work, family, friends, chores and even self-hygiene.

There's no reason for you to get mad at your father because he is right. I understand him for I know that using a computer for many hours a day can really cause some health problems. Your father is just worried and concerned about your health. Instead of getting mad at him, why not thank him for the care and concern he is showing you? Our parents really know what's best for us.

I think the internet is great, but scares people. You can easily get lost in vast amounts of information, entertainment, interacting, playing games and more all in one place. If you were to read a book for 2hours, play a game for 1, watch TV for two more hours, the five hours doing the same kinds of things on the computer would not be looked at the same. If it is your eye health and the body strains that concerns you from sitting in front of the computer too long, you can always take 20 minutes or more in breaks after each hour or so. This may make dad happy too.

Actually your father is right. Keeping staying online is not good for both of your eyes and your mind. Try to go out for a work or smell the flowers, relax your body. All these actions will bring you a new spirit. Don't always stay at home or sit in front of the computer.

I think staying online for too long will hurt your eyes for sure and it is not good for your back and minds as well, people always recommend we should rest a little bit after using the computer for a while. I always walk way after I have been using the computer monitor for a long time because my eyes don't wet by itself so it hurts.

yeah it's harmful to our health too much exposure to radiation can bring cancer. fact is all the electrical gadgets has radiation, plus when you stay long staring in front of your monitor or LCD it can damage your eyesight, you''ll be color blinded or sometime feel your head aching, and too long holding the mouse and keyboard can bring you carpo tunnel syndrome and eventually it will end up to hardness of your wrist movement and feel pain. I don't know the right spell of CTS, plus you'll feel back pain, because of you position in front of your computer.

The main thing that I've heard about staying on the computer for a long period of time that is not good for your health is that being on a computer is hard on one's eyes. However, there may be another very valid point to what your father has said as well. I feel like people (and I too am very guilty of this) that spend extraordinary amounts of time on the computer let things in their life that are important not matter. What I mean is that by spending a lot of time on the computer, you are not spending time exercising and may even not eat because the computer is absorbing so much of your attention.

there are three reason of your dad, maybe he is really concerned with your health if are over exposed infront of the computer you may get eye strains, or maybe be he is concerned with the electric bill and the last reason i can think of is, it is his turn to use the computer and check his e-communications..

Yes, I believe that staying online for a long time may have some adverse effects. It may not be prominent or obvious at this moment but it has some long term effects for your health. The computer emits radiation though in small doses or amounts still affects your body. I have been online for very long hours. Before, I do not feel anything. However, recently, I have been having headaches and feeling dizzy. Thus, there indeed is some effects on humans. It would be better to lessen the time you spend online.I am having headaches now but who knows, it may get worse. Nevertheless, in my case, I have no choice because, using the computer is indispensable for me so there is a need for me to use it.

Surely it's harmful to stay before computer for a long time, although I have to be with computer for almost 8 hours every day because I make living upon it. I just wondered the computer takes a lot of advantages for human beings and on the contrary it also brings disadvantages to us. Obviously lacking of exercise doesn't benefit to you health, and in most cases to watch monitor for a long time do harm to your eyes. Beside computer, there are a lot of friends and events deserve to make with or participate in.

I would not call it harmful at all. My husband and I both use computers as a part of our work, and we work long hours. When we are not working, we use online communications as a way to keep in touch with far away loved ones, and we do research on line about topics of interest to us. There is no harm on being on line for long periods of time.

It is a medical fact that staying on your computer too long is not good for your health. There is strain on the eyes and on the posture as you lean over the machine. It is also no good for stress levels to sit in front of a screen for many hours - our bodies need exercise, especially when we are younger. There is also a tendency to become reclusive and want to be on our own if all we interact with is a machine.. Best listen to your dad and maybe compromise a little. - Derek

I don't really know any facts or anything on the effects of staying online for a long time. I would like to know though because I've spent a lot of nights staring at a computer screen earn really small amounts of money.

ofcourse that will be harmful to you if stay online for a long time. your father is right and nowdays more and more fellows stay more than 10hours online and let themselves look like sick and they have sight and back problems always. we should have some short break or exercise after stay online more than 1hour as suggested.

yes it can be harmful to your health.your eyes, your mental health, so much can be affected
