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).

that make people don’t realize their seat position. That’s why after playing whole
day they will get backache.
