There aren’t very many conditions you can get, but there are several which you should be aware of. You can get carpal tunnel from using a keyboard or mouse that isn’t ergonomic or is uncomfortable for you to use. From looking at the screen too long you can develop Computer vision syndrome, which is a temporary condition resulting from sitting at the screen too long. If you’re using an older CRT, you can develop Asthenopia, or just simply “eye strain”. Muscle and joint pain, while associated with Computer vision syndrome, can also manifest by itself. All of these are very rare conditions, but they are still prevalent in computer health issues.
But there are all kinds of mishaps and accidents which can cause injuries while actually working on the insides of a computer. You could electrocute yourself if the proper precautions aren’t taken before working on a computer. You could accidentally plug in the wrong connector and start a fire. You could cut your hand on the case while inserting a hard drive. Many things could happen to you, the best way to avoid accidents is to be careful.
Hope I could help.
well, using a mouse that isnt ergonomic could result in carpal tunnel deisease in which you will need surgury.
I’ve already got a disease from too much computer use…NERDINESS
