Computers – Dangerous to Your Health
According to an article in the New York Times, computers cause a significant number of injuries. One 13 year study reported over 78,000 acute computer related emergency room injuries. Injuries aren’t limited to young gamers or office workers. The report recorded injuries to individuals from 1 month to 89 years old. Children under the age of 5 have the highest injury rate. Researchers believe that this is due to the weight of the equipment, sharp edges, large chairs and the tangle of wires often associated with work stations.
