All these devices can play
              huge amounts of visual information, which should take
              people. We will focus specifically on the supply of large
              volumes of information, although it is clear that the problem of emissions and impacts
              monitors of different nature (ionizing, electromagnetic, and electrostatic)
              also exists.

            

Thus, the effect on a person monitor is determined by several
              active factors: large amounts of reproducible data
              and radiation of a different nature. At the turn of the 60's and 70's in Japan
              there was a monitor term illness. Its manifestations were observed in those
              who worked with monitors not only during the working day, but sometimes
              even at night. The reason was considered a great flow of information. What
              same harm he can do?

            

Visual information flows through pathways in the brain, where
              excited part of its bark. The greater the amount of information, the longer
              She handled the cortex and subcortical stasctures and, consequently,
              and the longer supported excitement. And in the subcortical zone occurs
              emotional analysis of this information, and depending on its nature
              creates emotional tension and stress. Of course, the processing
              information is not limited to the time when we see it, and
              is much longer. Compare how smoothly changing landscape
              before us, when we just walk in the park, so what happens
              When we watch a movie. In the latter case, it is a matter of
              seconds.

            

This acceleration can not process information in a natural
              for us pace, and there is stress, and the person reacts
              stress. Single impact of a large flow of information does not tire
              brain, but if it happens all the time, leisure time is left.
              Another example: you watched a movie, heard a tone that
              you liked. Sometimes even 2-3 weeks in your mind will be alive
              and melody, and the memories of the heroes of the movie.

            

Thus, a large amount of information to be processed for a long time.
              If you watch movies on a daily basis, then the processing of information of two
              weeks are gone, and the brain will not help to get tired. When fatigue
              passes a certain line, there is a monitor disease.
