Computers, Technology, and Health. Three words can not be separated

Computers these days have become a necessity if possible in the listing on the level of importance it has already been incorporated into the secondary level, which means there is at one level below the basic needs. This can be seen from the high intensity of computer use in daily life.

As we know if an electronic device similar has effek computer effek must have both positive and negative on its use. Well we will start discussing about some effeknya, which is the result from the existing observations.

Well some negative effek computer that can affect the mental health or human psychology is as follows:

1. Anti-social, is the nature of the individualist or a loner, often feel they have no connection with the community and the general culture, or just feel that society or culture that is avoiding their mumum. Well as we all know if when we’re dealing with computers, so we are working individually as for today with riot-site social networking sites and chat facility to talk feel is not a primary tool to make someone a good way of communication. This can be illustrated and feel when we do a good discussion on social networks or the chat, we always have a lot of the subject, whereas when speaking tau talking in everyday life is not as smoothly as what we used to do like in the network.
2. Vertigo, a disturbance of balance or orientation disorder in the room or the conditions under which a person feels dizzy with spinning or spin environment even though the person’s body is not moving. This disorder occurs because the disturbance of balance both central or peripheral, disorders of the ear caused vertigo serig.
3. Addiction or dependence on the internet, as we know if the circulation of social networking sites like facebook makes an addiction for its users, this is because communication is done inside that causes curiosity and pleasure. Where is the feeling of dependence is to encourage people to continue to use the computer as people with drug addiction. So sometimes we can not know the time and place to always check the condition of such a networking site. in an article have been discussed about a boy who steals a laptop in the American simply because to check and update the status facebooknya, this is a picture of dependence on the Internet that already excessive so as to cause a very serious loss.

The effect, which affects the physical health of men is as follows:

1. Radiation monitors, display screens are too bright with the hot colors like red, yellow, purple, orange will further accelerate the fatigue of the eye. Apart from that, pantilan light (sunlight) to the monitor that comes from other sources such as windows, lights etc. penerangnan will add to the burden of the eye. Work room lighting loads also affect the eyes. (1.3) Use of the monitor screen is not ergonomic can cause a complaint to the eye. Based on our research, 77% of users will have monitors at eye complaints, ranging from feeling stiff and sore on the eyes, red eyes, watery eyes, irritation to the eyes of even the possibility of eye cataracts. If your computer using a soft lens (lens of the eye), eye fatigue will be felt faster, because the eyes are in focus at the screen will often blink so fast the eye becomes dry and this causes friction between the lens and eyelids. Refrigerated room (AC) would be more aggravating the friction, because the air conditioned room to be dry so the tears would come evaporate. According to the author of the study results do, for computer operators who work 8 hours per day continuously, was the radiation that comes out of the computer (especially the X-rays) is very low at around 0.01739 m Rem per year. The price is much lower than the radiation coming from cosmic rays and radiation from the earth (terresterial radiation) which ranges from 145 m Rem per year. While the radiation dose rate is allowed for the general public is 500 m Rem per year.
2. Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI), RSI is a term that refers to a variety of complaints skeletal muscle (musculoskeletal). This complaint concerns known to the tendons pain. RSI includes upper arm disorders associated with work (Work-Related Upper Limb Disorders) and overuse injuries associated with work (Occupational Overuse Injuries). These complaints mainly suffered by the workers with a static sitting position when using a computer or using repetitive hand movements (repetitive) every day, a static workload (such as holding a mouse), allowing the arm bent, and the like in a long time. This will get worse if the workplace is not ergonomically designed, for example, position the keyboard and the monitor is too high or too low, the chair does not support the body to sit up, and so on. This will get worse if the work environment plus the less mobile, less rest, contains high stress with deadlines and other regular reports as well. Especially if you are a smoker, suffering from obesity (obesity), weak muscles, have cold hands and lack of exercise. Early symptoms of RSI can appear in various places from the base of the arm to the end of the hand. Symptoms of a warning sign regarding:

* Difficulty opening and closing the hand,
* Muscle cramp hand (eg to the difficulty buttoning clothing),
* Difficulty using his hands (to reverse compiled a book, play button, holding the mug),
* Wake up with pain in the wrist or numbness in the hand, terutaa early in the morning,
* Cold hands,
* Hands shaking (tremors),
* Awkward tanggan, vibrate, or even numb.

So after we discussed the effek happened, not necessarily make us less productive in our daily lives, but we must have the same effort to balance the existing problems. Now as for how that can be used in the balancing of the negative effek when we work with computers are as follows:

1. keep the computer with your eyes, at least 50 cm,
2. set the position of the monitor, so that the monitor level with your eyes,
3. set the lighting so that no glare reflection,
4. blink more often to keep the eyes so as not to dry (at least 5 minutes or so),
5. monitors use a good filter to reduce the radiation,
6. menolehlah occasionally toward the distant view to relax the tension in the eyes,
7. every 2-3 hours, rest approximately 5 minutes to prevent eye fatigue and loss of radiation such as: go to the small kamal),
8. If you often use other people’s computers with no filter monitor (such as your presentation in another place), try to wear glasses with special lenses to reduce computer radiation,
9. If you often use other people’s computers with no filter monitor (such as your presentation in another place), try to wear glasses with special lenses to reduce computer radiation.
10. It is better if you replace your CRT monitor thick with a thinner LCD. Because the LCD monitor in addition to the use of wattnya smaller (only 60% of the CRT) are also much lower radiation. So much safer for your eyes.

It’s easy not to anticipate problems from the negative effects arising from our work with the computer. Well, now we tinggalah consciousness of doing what we should work to keep our conditions in order to keep fit. Good luck, and keep your health continues.
