How computers effect your health?

By

Eyestrain

How computers effect your health?
The human eye structurally prefers to look at objects further than six meters away, so any work performed close-up puts extra demands on the eye muscles. While there is no evidence that eye fatigue is associated with damage to the eyesight, computer users may experience symptoms such as blurred vision, temporary inability to focus on faraway objects and headaches.
The following changes can be helpful:
  • Computer screen - Adjust the height of your screen so you're not tilting your head down and tensing your neck.
  • Lighting - Try adjusting the screen and the lights to keep glare to a minimum.
  • Rest breaks - Taking periodic breaks, during which you relax and gently stretch your neck muscles, can ease muscle strain. In addition, avoid any tendency to stare at the screen without blinking, since this can lead to dryness in the eyes.
  • Remembering to blink can help you avoid dry eyes

Headache

A computer screen is much like a television but you sit much closer to it. The light coming from the monitor can cause eyestrain if you stare at it for too long. This and also other reasons when working at a computer, including stress and poor posture can lead to a headache. Regular breaks can help reduce muscle strain and alleviate these problems.

Back pain

While working at the computer, back pain is one of the most common workplace problems. To increase comfort while working at the computer you should:
  • Practice 'dynamic sitting;' be flexible and move while sit, don’t just stay in one static posture
  • Adjust the backrest so you are sitting at a 90 degree angle. That means your legs and your body form an 'L' and your feet should be flat on the floor or on a footstool.
  • Adjust the lumbar support to fit your low back's natural inward curve
  • Adjust the height of the backrest to support the natural inward curvature of the lower back. Use a pillow or a towel if you have to.
  • Use your armrests. They support the weight of your arms and allow your neck and shoulder muscles to relax.

Carpal tunnel

Carpal tunnelCarpal tunnel syndrome is an injury caused by a pinched nerve in the wrist. The injury causes pain and numbness in the index and middle fingers and weakness of the thumb. To avoid that adjust the height of your chair so that your forearms are level with your keyboard and you don't have to flex your wrists to type. It's also important to take breaks and rest your hands and wrists.

Difference Between iPad and Android Tablet

By
iPad vs Android Tablet The release of the iPad has spawned considerable interest in tablets and a lot of companies are aiming to have a pie of the iPad market. More recently, Android tablets are also gaining popularity as possible iPad replacements. What most people do not know is that Android tablets are not the same, unlike the iPad, and is just a common name for a wide variety of devices with different specs from different manufacturers. The biggest difference between the iPad and Android tablets is the operating system since the iPad runs on iOS while Android tablets run on Google’s Android; both starting on smartphones and are now being used in tablets. Since the specs of Android tablets vary from one device to another, there is no point in comparing them as they would not hold true for all devices. Let’s just point out the things that are common to all android tablets. The biggest selling factor for the Android tablets against the iPad is Flash. Flash is the most po...

6 Online Dating Mistakes to Avoid

By
So, you’d like to meet someone and have decided to go online. That’s a good move — proactive and forward-thinking. But be careful not to be lulled into habits that will undermine your online dating experience. Here are some tips to keep in mind as you peruse the seemingly endless stream of profiles from prospective partners. 1. Don’t go crazy over the pictures. On the Internet, it's easy to feel nitpicky and maintain high expectations. With apps like Tinder, you snap-judge users as if you were scrolling Amazon for the best pair of speakers. This sense of being in the driver’s seat, of choosing, can be appealing. It makes you feel powerful. Fight it. If what you want is a real connection — a relationship with a person you hope to love and who will love you — you will have to bring your most mature and empathetic self to the project. That means not saying, “Eh, she’s cute — but I prefer brunettes to blondes. Next!” You’d never behave this way in person, so do...
