Science and Technology : Study: People Who Are Constantly Online Can Develop Mental Disorders

[Egmond Codfried]

I do not believe any of this. Perhaps they were crazy already, or take drugs and alcohol. One could use the internet for the wrong reasons, but that's with anything we do. We need food, but you can gorge yourself to death. Do not blame in on internet. As a older generation I atch with dismay how young people are constantly attending their mobile phone, and how stupid they sound, in general. But that's the times we live in when the government has total control, we submit our private letters to the web so the government can read them, knowing with who we associate etc.

3 Exercises to Do If You Sit at a Desk All Day

Rows with Resistance
Sitting all day over a computer or a stack of books can make your shoulders slump forward and your back hunch--yep, bad posture. To strengthen and stretch the muscles, try some rows. The move squeezes your shoulder blades together and opens up your chest.

Study: People Who Are Constantly Online Can Develop Mental Disorders

CHARLOTTE (CBS Charlotte) — Get off that computer. A new study finds that constantly being online can affect your mental health.
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg recently studied more than 4,100 Swedish men and women between the ages of 20 and 24 for a year and found that a majority of them who constantly use a computer and mobile phones can develop stress, sleeping disorders and depression.
Sara Thomee, lead author of the study, said there was a “central link” between computers and mental disorders.
“High quantitative use was a central link between computer use and stress, sleep disturbances, and depression, described by the young adults,” Thomee said in the study. “It was easy to spend more time than planned at the computer (e.g., working, gaming, or chatting), and this tended to lead to time pressure, neglect of other activities and personal needs (such as social interaction, sleep, physical activity), as well as bad ergonomics, and mental overload.”
The study found a correlation between stress and always being available on the phone.

Perfect ways on days like this to reduce stress.

Gotcha, the main thing is to keep it moving... once you stop moving, things begin to break down...

Peace In,
