Do computers emit radiation of some sort that is harmful to your body?

Question

I use the computer way too much. Please help!!

Answer 1

Everything emits radiation of some sort. EM radiation is called "light" and comes from LED's like power indicators.
BUT! It's a LOOONG jump from that to the "harmful" stage.
With arguments about EM radiation from power lines, it could be argued that the EM from the power cables in the wall leading to your PC are doing you harm. On a more realistic level, you should be shielded from nasty beasties by the PC case.

That leaves the possibility of radiation from the electron gun in the tube of your monitor. Switch to LCD display and you remove even that.

The biggest harm to your body related to excessive PC time is the sedentary lifestyle you are adopting. Get out and exercise for at least 30 minutes a day.

Answer 2

If you're a follower of some exotic religion you'd have to stay away from transistors, monitors, etcetera

Otherwise, keep that using my pc too much stuff to a minimum.

Answer 3

no i don't think so, but they release EMP(rarely) and accepts EMP. but monitors (CRT) may strain ur eyes if you look at them for long periods.

EMP example:
while playing a song, if you make a cell phone call near a computer you hear beeps.

Answer 4

Gosh, I sure hope not. That is my career and I work on computers all day.
