Regarding Brain Cancer

[TequilaClock]

Say... dad gave me a speech about a girl friend died by diagnosis of being on her computer 24/7.

SO I am not sure if its really bullshit or not but still how big are the risks depending on what amount of time spent in it?

Not sure if any of you know medicine but I got my fears and also Wikipedia ain't no help giving me a wall text about brain cancer with a lot of chit-chat gibberish about other topics.

Unless your monitor uses X-rays for some reason I don't think you have any more problems than being outside.

You probably actually have less of a chance for cancer than being outdoors.

Computer screens emit low levels of radiation. It's very possible and i'm sure it's happend.

[Marlin Clock]

What do you mean by radiation?

[DrClock]

The whole... Glowing green power plant kinda thing.

[Marlin Clock]

Gamma radiation? You're telling me monitors emit gamma radiation?

What would cause this?

[DrClock]

I don't know the different radiations. I just know they emit some sort of rad's.

My old monitor even said "Low radiation" on it.

[AMPEEEM]

Stranger things have happened. I mean, its in no way healthy, of course, and if you really think about, it must be taking its toll somehow.

Also, the hero of winds is a fucking pussy.

Hero of time is where its at.

brain cancer

I'm pretty sure it's bullshit. Some early computer monitors had glass radiation shield (or maybe they were just shades, who knows) because they had relatively strong beams (I think). The idea of a computer giving you brain cancer pretty much goes against everything I know.

Honestly, the advice to get off a computer once in a while isn't bad advice, but there's no reason to make up shit about brain cancer.

And as far as radiation with monitors, CRT monitors have electron beams and I think they emit UV radiation. I don't think LCDs emit any radiation but visible light.
