Laptop is my best friend, but today I have to name it enemy.

All this, because we like it or not, the experts are more and more convinced that there are many dangers in laptop's case.

In other words, we win comfort, speed and eased access, but we can lose a lot in health.

It entered our lives in 80s or 90s and it became an indispensable object for the modern man and we can't imagine our work day without it or, for some of us, even the holidays.





Laptop got us rid of the chair that we were bound to in order to work on our PCs and he gave us an unimaginable freedom. All these advantages sound too good, don't they?





We are tempted to ask: where's the catch?
The catch is in the medical consequences that the usage of laptop can have.

Some minuses are the same as from any other PC, portable or not, like the problem with the eyes. Others are exclusively of this device that we care all day long on our laps.

So, we all know the good things, let's see the bad ones.

They are not proven things, because laptops are too young and studies can't be crushed. They are only warnings and fear of the medical world they we choose alone whether we listen to them or ignore them.


The laptop and the toasted skin syndrome
Kids that were forgotten in front of the laptops, playing or, simply, teenagers that are stuck on social networks got to hospital with discolored skin after they sat excessively with their computer on their laps.

The press debated very detailed the case of a 12 years boy (the 10th case in the last years) that ended with the left leg affected after he played a game for several hour a day, during a couple of months.


He said that even he felt the laptop hot, he didn't moved it from the top of his legs.

Another student from Virginia also got to the doctor - with the discolored skin on the both legs, and the specialist that treated her discovered that the downside of her laptop, that she kept a couple of hours on her lap, reached over 50 Celsius degrees.


A dermatologist from Cleveland explained the fact that this toasted skin syndrome it is old and it was used, until the apparition of the laptop, for the ones that stayed for long time nearby a fireplace - the effects were the same.

Two researchers from Switzerland go even far with the warnings and relate skin cancer with this situation.

A hot laptop kept for long time on skin can affect it until cancer.

It is happening extremely rare, but it does, claim them.

They don't point a certain case and they admit that it is a rather hypothetically risk, but they advise us not to neglect it.


What to do in this case? To buy a special support for our laptop and not to keep it anymore on our laps when it is warm!
