What Are The Mental Health Issues With Computers?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Computers often create mental/psychological irritants that can turn out to be counter-productive.
    1. Avoid noise. Computer user some time develop headaches and experience tension from being exposed to noisy impact printers and to the high pitched, barely audible squeal produced by some computer monitors. Indeed some people, particularly women, who hear high frequency sounds better than men do, may be affected by the noise even when they are not conscious of hearing it. Sound-muffling covers are available for come printers. However, to avoid ending up in a high-tension state because of monitor squealing, the advice again is to take frequent short rest breaks.
    2. Avoid stress from electronic supervision. Research shows that works whose performance is supervised electronically suffer more health problems than do those watched by human supervisors, For instance, a computer may monitor the number of keystrokes a data entry clerk completes in a day or the time a customer-service person takes to handle a call. Such monitoring may force a pace that may lead to RSI problems and mental stress. One study found that electronically supervised employees reported great boredom, high tension, extreme anxiety, depression, anger, and severe fatigue.
