Effects Of Technology On Technology

The constant and more consistent usage of technology has been shown to have negative effects on the physical health of users. One of the major health problems found among persistent users of computers is “Dry Eye”. Dry eye is a symptom of the eyes as a result of a lack of blinking. When using a computer, most of the time, we locate the screen close to our face, the beginning of the problem. Unlike when looking at far away objects, humans don’t blink a vast amount when something is located closer to their face. The lack of blinking leads to tears evaporating more quickly than when you were blinking more frequently. Symptoms of dry eye could be eye fatigue,

Users need to limit their time in cyberspace. Eye safety, repetitive stress syndrome, and sound ergonomic practices are issues that need to be addressed in a new technological world. Beyond the physical issues are those of the psychological issues that are becoming more prevalent such as Internet

Spending to much time in front of screens can have negative affects on a child. To much screen time can take a physical and mental toll on chirldren. Lights from these screens can confuse chirldren's body clocks and disrupt sleep. To much screen time can also fractue viewers attention and sap mental energy. Depression and obesity have aslo been linked to to much screen viewing.

After many hours of being on a screen like a computer in a office your eyes hurt and you get a headache. And after many years it might cause damage to your eyes. People who work in offices should take brakes because they dont ever got off them. Thats how people get headaches and get fat because they are always sitting. And then theres teenagers and saller children at home on the screens all day which is really bad because they could be outside

The first essay I picked is “Computer Vision Syndrome Affects Millions” by Jane E. Brody. In this essay, Brody introduces a disease called “computer vision syndrome” that people who spend three or more hours a day in front of computer monitors may suffer. He states “Studies have indicated 70 percent to 90 percent of people who use computers extensively, whether for work or play, have one or more symptoms of computer vision syndrome. The effects of prolonged computer use are not just vision-related. Complaints include neurological symptoms like chronic headaches and musculoskeletal problems like neck and back pain”. Similar to Carr’s perspective, Brody believes advanced technology brings negative effects on people, but his essay focuses more

To initiate with, computer is one of the invention in recent period. Firstly, Overuse of computer not only causes strain on eyes which lead to poor eyesight is well deliberate imminent a drawback in society. Secondly, children are too much addicted to computer games that spoil their academic . Thirdly, the exigent distress connote that the people once practiced in

Computer Vision Syndrome is the complex of eye and vision problems related to near work which are experienced during or related to computer use. Symptoms occur because the visual demands of the task exceed

How often do you hear that staring at a computer screen all day will ruin your eyesight? I agree that where it may not cause blindness, it can come with certain health risks. It may cause computer vision syndrome (CVS), eyestrain, posture related issues, and muscle and joint injury. CVS, the medical condition that occur when staring at a computer screen for hours creating headaches, visual discomfort, neck pain, and eye fatigue. This occurs from the screen being too bright or dim. It makes it difficult for eyes to focus on the subject being studied causing the fatigue, discomfort, and headaches. Eyestrain occurs from viewing something at the same distance for lengthy intervals of time causing blurred vision, headaches, and temporary issues

Constant focus on the same screen for long periods of time can cause concentration issues as well as headaches around the temples and eyes. These headaches may also be brought on when the lighting conditions are not ideal for the brightness of the screen, forcing the viewer to constantly squint.

The purpose of this research paper is to solve the question: Do computers cause permanent eye damage? The selected hypothesis supported the idea that prolonged computer usage does not cause permanent eye damage. The evidence provided shows that external factors such as lighting are responsible for the vision impairment. In addition, prolonged computer usage only leads to a temporary eye inflammation known as dry eyes and it is uncommon for dry eyes to cause permanent vision loss. The report 's conclusion proves that the hypothesis is correct. The only effect from computer usage towards our vision is a temporary syndrome called CVS (Computer Vision Syndrome).

According to Cavanaugh’s article, “Visual aptitudes… [gained from the use of technology] [are] important and even vital in many professions… The visual capabilities of [technology] may develop impressive visual intelligence,” (Cavanaugh 376-77). Technology can produce many useful skills like multitasking and spatial orientation as well as provide a spring of knowledge easily accessed through almost any device.

In the journal article “Influence of long term use of a computer on median, ulnar and radial sensory nerves in wrist region”, a study was done between computer users and none computer users. The result showed that the nerves that are located in the wrist region (ulnar and median nerves) gets damaged even without and neurological dysfunctions, just because the wrist part is being extended while typing or using the mouse (Bamac, Belgin, et al., 1033.) on the website of U.S. library of medicine it is stated that ulnar nerve damage can cause complications like deformity of hand, partial or complete loss of hand/wrist movement or sensation in hand/fingers etc. This is just one of the few health problems that we are facing or about to face as a new big problems if we keep using computers limitless.

Furthermore, another effect is visual problems. Visual problems from computer patient will meet the doctor with symptom blurred vision, double vision (diplopia), etc. Actually, these problems are not caused by nearsightedness or myopia, farsightedness or hyperopia, astigmatism and refractive problem, but the effect of these problems are from prolonged computer usage. The study of computer vision syndrome in computer office workers blurred vision can be found up to 23.8% and this study also found that double vision up to 13.7%. Plus, statistic of the American Optometric Association was found blurring vision in 30.48%. Visual problems are caused by fatigue of the eye muscles (ciliary muscle) that control the focus of the image or extraocular muscle that compounds the images from both eyes into a single image (binocular single vision) due to use near vision or reading vision for a long time. Definition of double vision or diplopia by The Merriam Webster dictionary is a disorder of vision in which two images of a single object are seen (as from the unequal action of the eye muscles). And the meaning of blurred vision is a loss of visual acuity and disability to see small details. Which is sometimes related to the inability of the eyes to focus on a computer screen for a significant amount of time. In addition, visibility may be blurred by constantly changing focus on the keyboard and computer screen. How to avoid the visual problem? There are many ways to avoid these symptoms,

Stop where you are. Look around. No matter where you are there’s some type of digital technology around. Either it’s a phone, a computer, or even a television, we are surrounded by modern day digital technology. Everyday, even among our daily routines, we are checking our phones, getting distracted by the TV, or browsing the web when we get bored. It seems like the more technology is getting advanced, the more we are getting dependent on technology. And with new advances, come new problems.

Technology can also affect eyes because the more we use technology it cause us to lost our vision,double visions, blurred vision,and heachache.Even for some of college student it makes them learn better with paper and pencil because they perform well and focus more. Also,technology affect our memory,our attention,and sleep cycle.One of the most thing that affect is our sleeping cycle because it tricks our brain into thinking it still day light espcially at night because when we use technology,the screen is bright and our brain montor that as a day light.
