As people become more dependent on computers there are unforseen hazards. For many people, the longer they sit and stare at the computer the worse their vision gets. According to the article Heavy Computer Use Linked to Eye Disease, staring at the computer all day can cause or increase the likelihood of glaucoma. As computer use increases among people, so to does the need for optometrists that understand glaucoma.
Is it then safe to say that as the demand for computers increases so will the demand for optometrist and eye specialists?

With technology today, people can just have eye surgery to correct their vision. I don't think people will worry too much about how computers can hurt their vision because of the availability of surgery. Society doesn't seem to think of the future as much as the present. What doesn't hurt them today will be fine in the future.
Maybe the next computer invented needs to have a screen that will not hurt the eyes. Or there will be some eye protective gear that you could wear while you stare at the screen. Technology will just keep advancing and soon there will be no worry about glaucoma but something else. Computers will be demanded until something better comes along, not because of our eyes.
I love Janet's comment - can we make the devices to protect your eyes really big and dorky looking so that everyone will just know when you've been at the computer again?
I'm a bit dubious about all this. Parents have been warning kids about staring at the TV since the 1950s ... and there haven't been big increases in eye diseases.
Dear God,
I wish to thank you for giving me this time to think about where we are headed in the world.
Life has become complex.
Why & Who made it so complex ?
Because we wanted it to be complex and we made it complex.
What do we want ?
Happiness.
How will we get happiness ?
If our basic necessities are met
What are your basic necessities , the most basic one ?
A job. I just want to do something useful.
Come on Man, Are you saying you don’t have a job ?
Yes I mean look around.
So now what?
Just wait and watch , what else can you do
Tell me, Don’t you think there is an unjustice going on in the working of mankind ?
How ?
Well you know if we look fifty years back things were different.
How ?
Everything was manual. There was no computer. There was a lot of work, everyone used to get their share of bread and butter.
Are you saying that the invention of computer has a negative impact ?
Frankly, yes. Wise people say an idle mind is devil’s workshop. We need job or work, god damn it give us anything worthwhile to do.
Ok .What do you suggest ?
Well to start with we need to unwind this computer thing and get back to manual, man can’t you see the population is increasing every single day, we need more and more work. Where ever it is possible get back to manual work.
