Computer Sickness
Posted by Paul Szynol on Wednesday, November 06 @ 14:10:28 EST Oddities
Research in Japan indicates that chronic exposure to computer screens may have adverse effects on one's health.

The most common symptoms are

1. headache
2. eyestrain
3. joint pain
4. stiff shoulders
Not to mention that individuals who are exposed to the screen for more than five hours a day may, ostensibly as a result, suffer from
1. insomnia
2. fatigue
3. and "reluctance to go to work"
The full text is here.
