How are computers harm on children?

Answer 1

Computers can either harm children in a physical way or in a mental way. In a physical manner, using a laptop on your lap can release radiation into your body. Also, laptops can get extremely hot and can burn you if used without a buffer between you and the computer. Using a computer keyboard can also give you Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

"Carpal tunnel syndrome is pressure on the median nerve -- the nerve in the wrist that supplies feeling and movement to parts of the hand. It can lead to numbness, tingling, weakness, or muscle damage in the hand and fingers."

In a mental way, overuse of a computer, just like watching too much tv, can make kids extremely lazy. This also can make them less intelligent, although this is less likely because much of the time, using a computer can teach you things that you otherwise wouldn't have access to.
