I've decided to ditch the idea of putting my personal writings in here. My head hurts too bad to think. I know it's from staring at these Chromebooks all day everyday. In this essay, I will talk about why screens are more damaging than they are helpful. Computer vision syndrome occurs when one spends extended periods of time on a computer, which stems from glare on the screen, poor lighting in the workplace, improper computer brightness and color or a combination of all of the above. Studies have proven that the backlights from our computers make us have late-night headaches and migraines, groggy, lethargic and fatigued after waking up, less able to concentrate during important projects and reduce our body's amount of sleep by one hour. I can testify that I experience ALL of these. You may ask, "Halee, you're on your phone in the summer, so how can computers be hurting your head?" Thank you for asking. These computers hurt my head more than my phone because I am using them much longer than my phone. In class, I am not on my phone, instead, I am either on a computer or watching a computer. As I am typing, looking at the keyboard provides so much relief for my eyes. Just looking down from the screen helps my head feel so much better. I do not like the idea of using computers in school. There, I said it. I'd much rather prefer using pencil and paper all day and hand writing everything over being on a computer. In the dark, you can turn the brightness down, like I am now because I'm suffering. In the bright classroom, however, you have to turn the brightness up just so you can see the screen. Between the fluorescent lights and blue screen, I get MAJOR headaches. I even have to take medicine for it, and my doctor recommends I don't look at screens so often, but that's kind of hard when you have to have a computer just to do school. I just really don't like having to be on them all the time. It kills my head. I just fell asleep before typing this (since it's on a bright computer it's not writing) because I can barely keep my eyes open. I have 7 more blogs to type. Wish me luck.
