WASHINGTON — Blurry vision and wrist pain are among the well-known health perils of computer use, but a study released on Tuesday shows a rise in previously overlooked injuries due to computer equipment falling over.Researchers found a 732 per cent rise in "acute computer-related injuries" from 1994 through 2006, double the 309 per cent increase in household computer ownership over the period, according to a study in the July issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
Young children are particularly at risk, it said.
Well - that settles that then - new rule in the Campsall house: whenever the kids use the computer they will need to wear their helmets!
