Sitting in front of computer for longer time is harmful for your memory.

This is an interesting topic. So I did a little research. The results were a little surprising to me. For computer use - non-specific activity on the computer: Using the computer was shown to have a very small, almost negligible, positive impact on memory in later years. However, computer use combined with exercise, showed a significant reduction in memory loss in later years. Exercise by itself didn't have much effect either. But when they were combined, they seemed to be good. Internet use - Long use of the Internet might impact your memory - and not in a good way. It looked like the studies that were done were talking about using the Internet to get information. It seems that when we use the Internet, we don't work to retain information. We might know where to go to get the information, but we can't actually remember what the information is. Maybe we're learning to think and remember differently?

I don't know whether it's true or not. But generally if you don't practice something as often then you will eventually forget. So remembering things is about doing things repetitively to keep your mind fresh. If you are mind is out of practice with doing things that enable you to remember things, then your mind will eventually forget things.

I am sure that there are likely to be several drawbacks involved with spending such long times using a computer, which could vary from affects on the eyes to lack of exercise. However, I see no tangible relation between computer use and memory. This seems like a complete fallacy to me and it is something that I have never heard before, unless I have forgotten about it due to excess computer use.

was long in front of a computer can cause back pain and difficulty to stand upright. I usually longer than 6 hours and breaks to eat and drink, we should be able to restrict the ability of our body to be not susceptible to disease. It wouldn't harm your memory, it depends on the condition of the body.

Actually, I don't know if it has an effect on my memory but my body, I can feel pain if I would sit for a long time. My eyes feel irritated too. That is why what I do is I am taking breaks from time to time. Have a nice day!

I think it is a myth.It can't damage your memory, but it can damage your eyes.If you work with computer 8 hours per day.you must use some spectacles .and don't use CRT monitor use LCD or LED monitor.Try to buy some cooling glasses anshu

It isn't just brains...all that time sitting down alone is bad for ones health and fitness overall.In fact too much of anything is bad - everything should be done in moderation.

Our eyes will be affected during long exposure to the computer. Doctor's advice is to close our eyes for 5 minutes every hour of using the computer.

I don't think it is true that the memory can be affected by sitting in front of the computer. Physical health may deteriorate if we sit down for hours at a time without a break however. But that stands to reason and most of us know when to quit and do something active for a while. In my experience spending time on the computer is an advantage to my mind at least, I am learning all sorts of new things and it is so easy to find out facts and figures. My life would be poorer without the computer and I don't think for one moment that my memory would be any better.

That isn't true! If I would remember if I heard about this. Computer isn't bad for your memory but your eyes maybe. Just keep a break sometimes and you will be fine.
