Time sickness @

If in the 1970s and 1980s, the big problem that the Ministry of Health and the whole country had to worry about was lack of nutrition and infection, especially the development and death of young children, then today we must deal with " metabolic syndrome " due to excess. Today's 8X, 9X generation is active early, established early, and soon established many remarkable " achievements ", but another problem is raised: Are they really healthy enough?

The center of the screen should be set below the 10-20cm eye level and set 50-60cm away from the eye. The sun and the office lights can reflect on the screen making eyes uncomfortable.

* Solution: Blink, take a 15-minute break after every hour of work on the machine. If the eyes are too dry, artificial tears may be used (especially when using computers with contact lenses). If there is a refractive error, wear glasses when using a computer.

3. Save the net and sexual abuse:

Heartbreaking stories, dramatic cheats, and cheating money around teenage net saves are frequent. It is hard to know, after every passing night, how many girls have ended the game at the lodge with the " knights " to save the net; how many brawls and fights to scramble to save the jammed beauties .

Websex, chat and " net rescue " have pushed a part of the 8X, 9X generation closer to pre-age sexual activity, with cohabitation and how much of their consequences (sexually transmitted diseases, abortion pregnant, homeless, suicide .).

After hours of chat, playing and working constantly on the computer is a lack of sleep, a state of dull, tired, insensitive, lack of focus, loss of sense of responsibility to society and families if not said is more selfish.
