What Are The Bad Effects Of Using A Computer?

Answer Question

10 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    There are quite a few negative effects of using a computer. One of the prime ill effects of using a computer is the radiations emitted from the computer monitor.

    As we spend more and more time for our working hours on the computer, we are bound to suffer from severe backaches and other pains that are caused due to lack of regular movements. Constant usage of computers also brings about brain damage.

    Games and web-sites with obscene content have immense effects on small children which turn them into computer addicts. Anti-Social elements like terrorist use computers for unlawful purposes. Hacking into e-mail accounts and personal computers and accessing and using personal information are also on a rise because of computers.

    Now days we have become too dependent on machines for each and everything which is also a huge cause of concern.

      There are physiological and social effects of using a computer, many of which are negative.  The most obvious physiological effect is the risk of RSI (repetitive strain injuries), but these can be solved by the use of ergonomic equipment and better work place health and safety practices.  Radiation from the computer screen can be blocked by special screen monitor shields.

      Social effects of using a computer includes reduced literacy levels because of the over reliance on computer publishing and editing.  Also, spending too much time in front of the computer reduces the amount of time spent on outdoor activities, as well as social engagements, which are all important for a healthy lifestyle.

        The most known bad effect is of Computer radiations(look for my answer in last link) which is now said to be very much resolved with LCD monitors.
        Following bad effects are also caused because of too much use of computers:
        Some phobias and mental diseases that are caused because of too much use of computer.
        lack of exercise, low social life(not including life on online communities).
        Sometimes also causing low concentration on daily life activities like studies and Job etc.
