Top 4 Health Problems Caused By Computer Use

1. **Eye Disease** It’s the first what occur to us, when we talk about computer harm (right?). Prolonged computer use could be linked to glaucoma, especially among those who are short-sighted. Our eyes are very badly affected by how long you stare at that bright screen. We stop blinking and start staring which makes our eyes strain and dry out. Make sure you look away from the screen and close them for a few seconds every few minutes. We can find many information about eyes health, as Snuz made. And it’s very important not to forget about our eyes while working on computer. 2. **Bad Posture** Bad posture is enemy number one. Check your posture now! You should be able to reach the keyboard and mouse whilst bending your elbows at 90 degrees, with your shoulders relaxed. If you are stretching, this could cause problems. Your back should be straight and the top of the monitor should be just below eye level. If your monitor is to the left or right of your keyboard you are putting strain on your neck. Long periods of time at the computer while blogging, working or reading often leads to pain in the lumbar region of the back. Neck and shoulder problems also result from poor seating and the poor organization of equipment on the desk (stretching for the telephone or files etc). 3. **Hurting Hands** Your hand and wrist ache after working at the computer all day, and they sometimes start feeling numb. Research in recent years has found that things like typing and sewing rarely cause carpal tunnel. Wear splints while you work to keep your wrists from bending too high or low, and use a keyboard tray or adjust your chair so the keyboard and mouse are below your elbows and your wrists are level. It is really important to give your fingers, wrists and hands a break from resting on the keyboard all day. A tennis ball is a great way to do this. Every time you need to think you should grab the ball and give it a few quick squeezes. This will do wonders for your joints and muscles. 4. **Computer Stress Injuries** Many people suffer from structural problems related to the physical stress of sitting incorrectly, or for too long in front of their computers. So there are chances you’ve experienced a fair amount of computer stress, from minor frustrations here and there to a virtual visit to computer hell. High levels of stress can kill you, don’t make mistakes! Highly stressful workers have a higher risk of developing heart diseases and even cancer. So make sure that you can manage your stress. Start making something to reduce it, don’t wait till computer stress will be the main problem in your life. Taking frequent breaks is an important step in preventing repetitive computer stress injuries.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">A //reason// for the //choice of research//, indicating an appreciation for the significance of the research. The reason why I chose "Modern Society and technology impacts on health" as my topic because I have always been interested in researching about the impacts that modern society and technology has made in our health. I have always wondered if the technology improved for our betterment or the improving technology has has impacted human health in a negative way. One of the appreciation for the significance of the research is to inform other people about the impacts of modern technology on human health and collect some statistics to show the audience (Public) about the impacts. Collecting statistics would prove our hypothesis and as a group we will have evidence to show to the public to make them agree with our opinion. my question to research on is **what are the advantages and disadvantages of technology on our health**
