Putting A Laptop On Your Laps = Health Risk by Nobody: 1:02pm On Aug 31, 2013 |
Many researches, universities and a big number of media sources have announced that putting our laptops on our laps is a bad idea; even though, they are called LAPtops! Putting laptop on your lap for long hours causes several health problems such as toasted skin syndrome that happens after spending too much time with the computer on lap. There are many cases of people who experienced this problem and had a blotchy discoloration on their left thigh; it basically damages the left leg because the laptops's fans and vents designed to release heat are on the left side. It's also said that people might not really feel the high heat but over time and after staying close to the heat long enough, they will start to notice the damage eventually. Furthermore, this is specially for men, a study showed that laptops might be very harmful to sperm. "A widely-reported 2010 study found that men who keep their laptops on their laps may be hurting the quality of their sperm due to scrotal hyperthermia — that is, elevated temperatures in the testes." Another study also assured, "Regular contact with a heat source over time can lower sperm production and possibly contribute to infertility." Hopefully this topic would help you change one bad habit and live healthier stay safe Source: www.collegenet.com/elect/app/app?service=external/Forum&sp=40794 |

Mynd_44: I don't know much about it but I know it gets hot and uncomfortable. Now why would I wanna put something that hot on my laps for hours? Sounds silly right? Don't underestimate those geeks that get absorbed in their works without feeling the strains of the device on their laps. I also used to place my laptop on my laps for hours too. Then I would go out to tap free wlan . Gets very uncomfortable after some time. |
