I have read some article in the web. They said that sitting frequently in the computer or simply sitting and watching television can kill you. Do you really believe on it? Iam doing some PC works everyday and it makes me think a lot.

Sitting and getting oneself pinpointed to a particular thing is no doubt a threat to good health. Couch Potato Syndrome , the name of the condition is detrimental to us.

Couch Potato Syndrome? I've heard it in the firs time. Maybe I could search on it. Is it a serious problem?.

Hello there. I think I agree to the article you have just read. Sitting frequently in front of a pc or tv can little by little kill you. There's something about pc and tv called radiation which is bad to our health. It can cause tumors or cancer. If you are always in front of such things, there is a possibility that you can have these kind of health risk. So be careful my friend.

Thanks my friend. What if I sit down in the LCD computer? I have read that LCD does not produce radiation. Is there possible health risk on that?.

Don't worry about being killed by computer. if you have LCD or LED monitor with you computer then nothing to worry about. just don't stare at the monitor continuously just take some nap of your eyes in between your work. If you have CRT monitor the get a eye protective screen.
