PROTECTING EYES FROM COMPUTER SCREENS

Many of us spend the bulk of the day looking at computer screens. Reading this article means there’s a good chance you’re looking at one right now.

But does looking at computer screens damage your eyes？ Professor Nathan Efron does not consider computer screens “harmful” to our eyes.

But he admits if you use one a lot, you increase your risk of becoming slightly more short-sighted –where your eyes focus well only on close objects while more distant objects appear blurred. This is especially the case for children and young adults, whose eyes are still developing.

In the shorter term, prolonged viewing of a computer screen can make any slight existing vision defects more noticeable. It can also give you what is sometimes known as “computer vision syndrome” – eye strain, headaches, gritty eyes and blurry vision. But this is only temporary and can be minimized by:

Adjusting the screen display so the contrast is high and the brightness feels comfortable.

Having lighting that does not produce glare on the screen.

Giving your eyes regular rests from looking at the screen (The Optometrists Association of Australia recommends you do this for five to ten minutes every one to two hours of computer use. It's a good time to make phone calls or do other tasks.)

le, who was a consultant for the FBI, and had a major motion picture about his life called Catch Me If You Can, said "Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States". People use skimmers and other electronic devices to steal credit card numbers, and your personal information. With new advancements in technology, like the internet, it has become even easier to steal someone's personal information. The internet has underground websites that sell thousands of credit card numbers and their pin numbers for very little money. Linda Foley, of the Identity Theft Resource Center in San Diego, says "You cannot protect a person from identity theft. It is impossible. All we can do is minimize our risk." There are many things that we can do to minimize the risk of identity theft. You should shred all documents with any personal, credit card, or banking information on them. Also people should be very careful how they use social media, like Facebook or Twitter. Whatever you put out there might be used against you somehow later. We need to set up a better way to catch these criminals who are destroying innocent lives. There needs to be some kind of global agency working together to stop these people before they can do too much damage. What we do not want to do is outsource the job of catching these people, because there is a lot of money involved. These identity thieves can make huge amounts of money with very little effort, so corruption could be a major concern. We would also need a huge amount of accountants who understand how these fraudsters operate. Identity theft is no longer a small problem. It has gone global, and affects all the major economies of the world. People cannot spend their hard earned money when these identity thieves are stealing it. This fraud could end up becoming one of the major factors that could collapse a country's economy. Identity theft could turn a rich man poor, and a poor man rich within a very short period.

(1)Identity theft is a huge social problem only in the U.S.

(2)Progress in technology has made identity theft easier.

(3)Personal information security and privacy are utterly important.

(4)In Linda Foley's eyes, it is impossible to minimize the risk of identity theft.

(5)Good habits in people's daily life, global cooperation and an anti-corruption campaign are all helpful in the fighting against identity theft.
