What are the side-effects of information technology?

Answer 1

Physicians are seeing the following problems from "information technology".

• Cell phone thumb - tendon and ligament damage to both thumbs from texting and game playing.
• Eye strain from cell phone use, computer screens and TVs.
• Body pains from using computers in the wrong position.
• Body pains from game units, Wii, cell phones, and computer keyboards and joy sticks. (Wii users can get accidentally injured doing some of the movements.)
• Brain tumors from electromagnetic field waves from excessive use of cell phones and cordless phones. Don't be surprised if cancer starts showing up from texting too.
• And believe it or not: Amateur radio use at 1000 watts for excessive amount of hours has resulted in cancerous tumors of the radio user and neighbors. One neighborhood had six people died from the Amateur Radio person's unshielded radios, including the radio operator and his wife. Ham radios can transmit far on a mere 5 watts so you can see how 1000 watts is excessive and dangerous.

Answer 2

They require training to use and maintain, which can be time consuming and expensive. System failures are always a danger and can be devastating to any person or organization which depends on them for important functions.
