There are actually two concerns
here. One is to shield the child from leakage of radiation from computer
screens. Although modern computer screens emanate very little radiation,
you may want to buy and attach a shield, especially if you think that
your child sits too close to the monitor.
The second concern is that your child may strain his or her eyes from
reading the computer screen. Actually, modern colour monitors, with
properly adjusted brightness and contrast, make reading less tiring
than the old black and white screens. In fact, tests have shown that
reading from computer monitors does not seem to be any more dangerous
to eyesight than reading from books.. |
