Are You a Computer Holic?

I think being addicted to computer is rampant today, as every thing we can get from the internet. I got the problem as you do a few months ago. My eyes became red and my back felt so painful and stiff. I experienced this for three months or more. I didn't notice it as I thought it was usual because I am deskbound. But the pain I felt got much worse. I browsed the Internet and found that this pain could be better by blinking your eyes for some time within 30 seconds while you are in front of your computer screen. It's proven to be effective in eliminating your reddened eyes. For the pain in the back, you need simply shrug your shoulders a few times in 2 minutes, then you might feel your back is normal again. In addition, you can turn your head to the left and right successively until the pain is alleviated. Hope it helps.

Really what is a computer holic these days? There are more people who spend the vast majority of their day in front of the computer now then ever before, then the people that really do not spend all that much time in the computer. So at one time what is considered to be a computer holic, is now considered perfectly normal these days. So it really does depend. I think that its important to look away from the computer screen every so often. Even if it is just to look out a window right next to computer, that does help. In fact, I tend to look out the window fairly often, if I start to feel any signs or symptoms of strain. Also getting up and walking around the room and stretching for a couple of minutes every so often is great and healthy. Plus it does get you thinking about things, so it is multi purpose at any rate.

hi bussyien I am not bothered by my eyes but I here about eight hours a day and it makes my blood pool in my legs so they swell up.That is not good for a person so I have to take breaks and put my leg up and lie down on my bed for a short time,.So I am one of the computer holi as I mylot a lot so I can keep on the net.cable internet costs around forty dollars which is a lot when I have only 125 dollars of myo wn after my room and board are paid each month from social security and ssi checks. so my earning help a lot here. great discussion that will help a lot of mylotters.

When i use PC for an hour or long i get backache and headache. It is also paining in eyes.

Extractly ! Now the computer is a tool to help people in our enviroment. It becomes our friends. But it is the culprit causing the eye disease. so only 2 hours sitting at a computer and have to rest your eyes after 2 minutes.

now-a-days,computer has become our daily working assistance...if we,now,want to reduce its use,we couldn't be able.but we,the computer users know dat it has a great bad effect on our health....especially for eyes.it short down our eye power.....i have some prob. also......so try to work minimum in front of computer

Nice to read such thing, because i really am on my computer at least 6 hours, and sometimes even more , reaching 10 hours / day . I think that i had that feeling when i didn`t used the computer for a few days ,and then i stayed more than 4 hours. I felt a little strange , like i didn`t see too good the letters, and i was very tired . Sometimes when i stay for a long time on the computer, i just lay on my bed and i can even feel like i`m getting better if i just stay on my bed for a few moments .

Sheesh! I guess taking a walk this afternoon just became an even better idea! I work at home and spend a lot of time in front of the computer. I do take care of my handicapped son so I cannot sit here for super long periods of time, but it is a lot. Over a day it adds up a bunch. I do get out in the mornings for a run and take frequent breaks. But as my work demands increase I am in front of the screen for longer periods of time! Thanks for the advice!

In the past , i never felt like I was addicted to the computer. More and more i seem to be feeling like i can't wait to get to the computer. I know i could be doing other things with my time, but time at the computer is what i enjoy.

The idea that the computer screen is harder on the eyes comes from the time when screen resolution was much lower and when flicker from CRTs could be bothersome. With today's extremely high resolution, it's almost impossible to see the pixels, and the very newest screens from Apple are even higher resolution. The fact that the text is illuminated also makes it easier to read, for some people, than a book that has to have a light shining on it. Today's screens can be adjusted in many ways, including the type and intensity of the lighting. The real problem is that people spend hours in front of the computer, and don't take the breaks they need to relieve their eyes and their bodies. The current thinking by optometrists and others who do research on the eyes, is that computers do *not* cause eye strain or eye problems if the person uses normal common sense about staring at one source for hours at a time. If you sat in one place for hours reading a book, you'd have the same problems. I was very grateful for the quality of my computer screen last year when my vision was almost wiped out by cataracts. I could increase the size of whatever I was looking at, and the brightness of the screen made it possible to keep reading when I couldn't see to read books anymore.

Deeem yes! I all time sitting in the kichen and made food or siting at the computer. Now I find this page and no I am sick with this page... I like - so much :)
