Hi bhargavoza, There are many disadvantage of computers: - if its in a wrong hand it can be disasterously-for example if it is in a hanf of an unsatisfied employee, it can be use to destruct a company valueable data stored in it. - if its use abusively it can be relatively destructive-for example if one use it to play game all day long till someone forgot to do his/her duty (a homework for tiny example) then it is destructive... - it its used by someone to steal the bank account, then yup... disaster can be done... - ... too much to mention here.

Computers can be very addictive to a lot of people. those who disregards safety tends to loose their eye sight while being so close to the monitor and then using the keyboard and then washing hands can be bad because it might give pain to your hands, like what i did before. and there's also radiation, some experts believe computer can also get you sick

One of the most important disadvantage of using computer is that spending more time before computer leads to less communication with family members especially husband and wife that lead to misunderstanding between them that may lead to divorce and for teenagers watching adult content and playing video games lead to anti social activities and tendency on gambling to get easy money without any work. Other physical harms are pointed out by members of myLot community and so no need for me to repeat them in my post.

One disadvantage would be that it can affect one's eyesight, as if you sit in front of it to long and not take a break, it would be very detrimental. I, myself need to take breaks as I have cataracts and sitting tolong in frot of it, doesn't halp at all. Also, you can get carpal tunnel doing the same thing all day long. I have heard of people getting carpal tunnel from working for hours on the ocmputer. My daughter's best friend has carpal tunnerl, and from what I understand it can be painful. I want to avoid that at all costs. Take care and happy mylotting.

Carpal tunnel invloves the repetitive use of your hands and writsts. In other owrkds, doing the same thing day in and day out for hours. The only way to correct it is with surgery. It is very painful from what I have been told and hard to do much unless they have surgery. There is a muscle that is called the carpal and that is where the name came from. I am sorry for the misundertanding of what it is. Happy mylotting.

One main disadvantage of the computer is that it is so fast now, people forget to be patiences . We also forget to forgive mistakes because on the computer everything is ( seems so ) perfect. It also can cause a person to forget basic manners when speaking face to face. People also tend to believe everything that is on the computer without checking, this is dangerous because you really don't know who put the info in ( just because it says that person is an expert doesn't mean they are ) Hope this helps, good luck to your son

Computers also give people the arrival of a number of disadvantages: on the computer for too long the likely damage to the body, but also gullible using the Internet to disclose their private information. A computer-radiation pollution will affect the body's circulatory system, immune, reproductive and metabolic function, but also induced a serious cancer, and will accelerate the proliferation of human cancer cells. Therefore, the computer will bring convenience to humans, but also bring disadvantages.
