Thanks to great innovations, we are now able to double up our electronic computer as a TV. In particular, with the inventions of softwares like Satellite TV on PC, many of us will be spending  a tremendous amount of time in front of the Computer than before.

Indeed computers are a great addition to our life, we can nowalternate between work and media entertainment. nonetheless, we should not get  lost in our pursuit of media entertainment or working in front of the computer, proper and safe use of them should always be our  top priority.

 The burning question therefore is how we can protect our health when using the computers especially when enjoying Internet TV:-

1. Invest in a Radiation Filter

 The International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA) has stated that “the levels of most radiations and electromagnetic fields emitted from computers are much less than those from natural sources, such as the sun or even the human body and are well below levels considered to be harmful”.  Even though it is a well known fact that computers degenerate very low levels of infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays and electromagneticfields, insufficient studies and research have been concluded in this respect. Therefore, the prudent amongst us may still opt to guard their health by investing in anti radiation screen.

2.  Invest in a Glare Filter

 Due to the fact that the computer screens do contain UV-rays,  even though minimally,  lenghty periods of fixing our eyes at the computer may result in: Sore Eyes, Dry and Itchy Eyes, Visual Fatigue, blurry or double vision, Burning and Watering eyes, Headaches and frequent changes in prescription glasses, increased sensitivity to light. Although  these may not cause permanent eye damage, these  symptoms although temporary will surely result in a lack of productivity and reduce job satisfaction. As such, it would be wise to invest in an anti-glare screen to filter the UV rays from hurting your vision.

3. Take Frequent Breaks

It is easy to be so hypnotised by the activities engaged on the computers, such as watching internet TV for hours, that you end up in front of it  for an overly long period of time without being aware.  To circumvent the above symptoms of eyestrain, look away from the computer often and focus on something far away every now and then. Long periods of time in front of the computer screen also causes pain in the wrist and the hand and the lumbar region of the back.  Therefore do not  couch at the computer during breaks.  Step away and go outside for some fresh air.  Get some exercise.

4.  Use suitable Lighting

Ensure that there is proper lighting when using a computer.  Do not stare at a computer screen in dim lighting for hours without taking a break.

5. reconstitute your Computer Environment

  • the top of the monitor screen should be aligned  with the computer user’s forehead
  • the computer screen should be within an arm’s length (approximately 50 cm) from your face
  • use adjustable screens
  • change the location or position of seating ( use adjustable chairs), and the height of desks and keyboards or adjust the height of computer screens and video monitors and use foot support to create an ergonomically correct work station for the whole family
  • you can install keyboard trays, pads, or alternative curved keyboards
  •  position all regularly used items close by
  • as most computer systems are designed for  adult size, be sure to get chairs, monitors, input devices, and keyboards that are suitable for your kids’ size
  • ensure you run the wiring from computers or telephones carefully as it can become dangerous if there are a lot of devices in the same area.
  • make sure your workstation is not  overcrowded.

 Correct computer positioning, correct typing and sitting positions, and well-designed furniture will make your computer environment ergonomic (which means to make equipment use less fatiguing and uncomfortable).

 Since a hefty period of time is spent sitting in front of a computer, you must also remember to  protect your health. We hope the above elementary steps can help you to ensure proper and safe computer use.  After ensuring all this is done in good order, you’ll be more than ready to enjoy watching your TV online.
