It's not just me who is feeling the strain. Just a quick Google search will return thousands of health issues related to computer use.

Even Googling may have detrimental effects on our health, there are sociological effects too as we move towards a World without books where all knowledge is at everyones fingertips and even school exams are taken online.

Many adults are feeling the effects of repetetive strain injury (RSI) from keyboard or mouse use. What our children will suffer in later life we are yet to find out. The use of handheld communication devices is particularly worrying.

On these pages I will gradually be bringing together as much information as I can on health issues to do with computers and ICT.

Remember when many people were worried about radiation and the use of mobile phones? With just about every modern appliance wireless just how much is our health at risk?

Closer to home, the keyboard you have in front of you right now may contain 70 times as many microbes as the average toilet seat! and men, did you know that using a laptop on your lap can lead to a reduced sperm count or even infertility?

So find a comfortable chair, relax your shoulders and read on for health tips and information for a long and healthy life in front of your computer!
