health and computers

If a person manages his time carefully, he wont become lazy because of computers. My argument is if you have become lazy because of computers, you would have become lazy even without. On a general scale, computers help maintaining the health care system more effectively. Instead of searching for volumes of records of books and files, all patient information is effectively stored and integrated with the help of computers. So overall, computers are good for our health.

yes overuse of anything poses a health risk. the CRTs are known to emit radioactive rays which accumulate in the body system over a long time, as such overuse of computer system particularly when you have a CRT monitor (the LCD screens are much better) exposes you to this danger like the above mentioned health risks. Similarly, continuous stay on the computer also exposes you to what is referred to as Cumulative Trauma Disorders eg cramps in your leg muscles, wrist pains, back pains due to prolonged & improper seating posture, eye sight problems due to continuous gaze at the monitor screen...

I don't believe that computers are good for our health for a couple of reasons. One is that it's not good to just sit for hours, which most people do. The human body was meant to move. The other is that computer monitors emit energy which is harmful over a period of time.

i dont think soo. i only think that if you spend a lot of time looking for your monitor you will probably lose some your viewing capabities. nothing that a pair of glaces dont repair. lol like me
