Computer Influence on Human Health

The fact that computers can harm a human’s life has been announced. There was an analytical research prepared and exercised where the negative affect on human body through such technology as computers was announced.
The first paragraph of this research talks about the massive use of computers and the fact that they can be found in almost every person’s life; may it be school, home, work, airport, city center etc. The fact that computers play an important role in our lives, starting from kindergarten till pension, is the reason why this research was made. It was important to find out the effect that this technology has on the human body, since most of the time we are working or close to this mechanism.
In the second paragraph the researchers were concentrating on the affect a computer has on those people who have to work every day in front of the computer. The positions examined were: secretary, different management positions, government, police, teacher’s and the most harmful position – the internet/computer operator position. 5t was found that in Germany the operator position is one that endangers a person’s health particularly. “…In Germany operator work is included in the list of the 40 most harmful for the health works and in accordance with the prescribed rules the work at the monitor should not exceed 50% of the working time.”
The intense work in front of a computer not only harms physical and psychological development of a person, especially children, it also decreases physical health and it even causes illness. The researchers found out that: “70-75% of all users which routinely work at the monitor screen have problems with the eyesight.” Of course eyes are not the only body part that becomes ‘damaged’. Computers can negatively affect also brain cells, the back, hands and even inner organs.
I believe that this research happened only because of the fact that our society is becoming more and more affected by technology. Our society has become more technological than ever before; computers and other technologies are used extremely often, and through this they have started to have a negative impact on human bodies and health.
