How addicted are you with internet? Do you go online almost everyday for several hours? Being online is an exposure to more radiation and is not good for our health. I myself is also addicted online that's why I have online jobs. But lately I have minimized my online activity since at work I am online for 8-12 hours. So I see to it that when I am home, I rarely go online. If I do I see to it that I will be on for an hour or less only. Health is more important.

I am surprised that no one has come up with a solution yet for computer users who are exposed to radiation all day. When I was diagnosed with Parkinson's recently I was told that environment poisons and anxiety was a possible cause, both of which are in abundance at the office and the home. What about a bib that protects one from radiation? It need not be a clumsy device and people would get used to it in time. Every which way we turn we have to worry about radiation which is the new enemy now. Radiation, pesticides, and other environmental poisons and preservatives affect us in our daily lives more than we know.

I know computer emits harmful radiations but still I cannot have an control on it because I am much addicted to it. At first I used to spent almost 8 and more hours in front of my computer and now it is reduced to 5 hours and I hope this cannot be reduced again.

When you get older, you might regret it. So better be cautious while it's early.

My past... - ...I've written about it at length...and also posted precious images from it on the internet. I am deeply grateful to the net for this privilege; I love the internet.
I'm not addicted, but I adore the internet. As soon as I get up, one of the first things I do is switch the computer on. And I am on the computer on an off all day; and often at night too. I use it for so many purposes, it's unbelievable. It has altered my existence for the better almost beyond all measure since I came online in 2001. Work; creative fulfillment beyond my wildest dreams; self-promotion; social life; entertainment; education; comfort; and more...all have been provided to me by my beloved internet. I'm not aware of the extent of the radiation to which we long-term internet lovers have been subject. Yes, health is important, but I'll not be altering my computer habits any time soon.

Most of us become addict to online because of our lifestyle. Most people tend to live alone and to overcome loneliness, internet is the media. But it becomes poisonous now a days for young people. Along with using online, there should be adequate physical work which would makes healthy and same time using the science for improving knowledge.

Ever since I own a computer I already been addicted to internet, not only job but games too. I'm a homebody person I enjoy doing things inside my house instead going out with friends. And since I have my own computer It becomes a habit for me to used it all the time since I enjoy being in front of it.

I wouldn't say that i am addicted to the internet.I only come online when i am free.And I use a laptop.And not a desktop.SO i think that the radiation levels will be comparatively lesser in amount.But it is not so good for your eyes hough. And i think that all this is nothing compared to a lot of stuff most of us do.like smoking and all.

I should really do something about it then. I am on the computer for at least 12 hours per day. My job as a composer requires me to use special computer software and hardware, I love surfing, and on the top of that all I am also a video game addict. Probably the only way to reduce my computer time would be to get a job that does not require me to use a computer.

I'm on the internet quite a bit. I know it's not good for you, and I try to limit myself. Still though, there is not much to do around here, and the internet is something to do while you're bored. You can find a lot of things on the internet.

I didn't know that it was really bad for our health, I am online a lot though. I knew that it isn't good for your eyes, but your health in general?
