The harm of computer on human health, ways of protection

Even some few decades ago, no one could not imagine that soon a computer will be in every house. Along with this miracle of technological progress to the people and negative factors that affect health is not the best way. Those who spend on monitors, many hours of your life, don't always know what it is they face. However, the damage from the computer is, and it is quite significant.

Straight posture, eyesight, healthy joints and good blood circulation – this is not a complete list of what we have to say goodbye, if you spend at a computer all working and free time. Despite this, some argue that computers are absolutely harmless, while others exaggerate their negative impact. What really is the harm of computer to human health and can it be prevented?

Blurred vision

Most of all the constant sitting at a computer suffer from eye. Most likely, many could see the redness of the eyeballs, after a long looking at a monitor. This comes from overexertion of the eyes and drying of the mucous membrane, as if the man is very focused, he simply forgets to blink and during the blink of the eye moist. Plays an important role in a well-organized working place: distance between monitor and eyes should be around 30 cm, no more and no less.

Day in and day sitting at the computer gradually leads to myopia. The radiation from the laptop is threatened by the emergence of the following signs of loss of visual acuity:

  • not coming down the redness of my eyes, especially in the area of conjunctive bag;
  • burning and cutting pains in the eyes;
  • tearing of one or both eyeballs;

  • blurred and a veil;
  • "floaters" and "cobwebs", constantly flying in front of the eyes;
  • disorientation and loss of ability to see in the dark due to habituation to a bright light that emits the monitor.

The deterioration of vision can also talk to frequent pressure headaches and dizziness. What can be done to prevent the disease? It is enough to refer to the following methods of protection:

  1. To arrange a ten-minute break every hour.
  2. To look out the window, glancing from approximate objects on more distant.
  3. During the day to do special exercises: to close and open the eye, slight pressure on the eyeballs index finger and 10 seconds to go, to do rotational motion.

The effects of electromagnetic radiation

Despite the fact that the age of the bulky, more like tube TVs monitors is long gone and in their place came a liquid crystal, any technology capable of affecting human health and the computer is no exception. All because around devices that runs on electricity creates an electromagnetic field. The radiation from a computer leads to the deterioration of blood supply of organs and tissues, reduced reproductive function and weakening the immune system. But most harmful radiation brings the nervous system.

After long hours spent at the computer, the person becomes irritable, he begins to suffer from insomnia that cannot relax and constantly sees before his eyes images and pictures from your computer screen like he's delirious. Appears lethargy, drowsiness and apathy are constant companions in a rapidly developing depression. Such reactions can be observed among working age adults quite often.

Alas, the electromagnetic radiation from the computer is stalking you everywhere. It is a scourge of modern society, as every schoolchild in the Arsenal you can see not only the computer but also a bunch of other gadgets.

Harm for children and adolescents

The harmful child is computer and how it affects nesformirovannost the child's psyche, researched for a long time. Even if an adult is sometimes not able to resist dependence on computer games then, what can we say about a teenager.

About the responsiveness, compassion and desire to help and can be no question – at present Computerman these qualities do not exist at all. They do not see the authority of the older generation, neither in parents, nor in the person of teachers. Their characteristics is an obsession, selfishness and indifference.

Cleverly hyped violent and bloody computer games develop from minor aggression and protest, and these qualities because of their age they have enough. No parent wants his kid grew up, but, in order to prevent this, you need to start with ourselves and at least occasionally devote time to the child.

  1. The adherence of the day, which for computer games has no more than two hours, okay disciplinarum child.
  2. If the offspring from childhood is sitting at the screen, and the parent busy with their own Affairs, then you can blame only yourself. Needs to be a joint games and activities.
  3. Mugs and sections will help to distractof the child, and perhaps he will find there all of his life and make friends, and not to run to the computer from the doorway.
  4. Family traditions, which continue from year to year, will be taught from childhood to honor the family and listen to family.
  5. Upon detection of adolescent addiction to the computer it will be easier to explain its harmful effects and what it faces if the parents themselves are not to sit at the screen for hours.
  6. Strict control might make matters worse, so if all else fails, and the child morning and night at the computer, should run with him to the psychologist and best to the family, because the problem usually comes from the family.

To convey to the teenager that the harm of computer is essential, it is very difficult. Don't forget that personality is formed up to 3 years, so useful habits and interests are easier to be inculcated from childhood, and harmful – to destroy immediately.
