Its common to see people play computer. They use

it for making task, playing games, or browsing something
in internet. Most of people spend long time for playing
computer. Even several people can play the computer
whole day which could lead them to some diseases.
Facing the monitor for long time can create the
tiredness for eyes. It will make people dizzy. Further effect,
glasses will be the options, why? Because our sight
becomes blur (abnormal).
Other effect is backache. It is sometimes too fun
playing computer that make people dont realize their seat
position. Thats why after playing whole day they will get
backache.
It is obvious that too much time spent for playing
computer can make eyes feel tired and lead people to get
dizzy. Eyes also feel bored to face the monitor for long
time. The wrong seat position can make people get
backache which could disturb all activities we will do.
