[uPDATE] Thanks everybody for your responses, you made me aware my short-sighted vision in this post xD, and sure I got lost while writing it, my intended message was more along the lines of "Beign healty is better than not, and if you like digital entertainment, you should try beign gentle with your eyes", you all made me aware of things that go beyond the writing here, so next time I will try a different aproach, thank you for your feed back. [ORIGINAL] Hello everyone, I wanted to share my point of view and experiences, and hear of yours as well regarding this topic, I'll try my best to not sound like I'm telling any of you what to do, because I'm not aiming at that, nor I will ever obligate you to, the best I can do is getting you to consider this and leave the desicions up to you. First of all, a friendly piece of advice, given that if you are reading this either you have a tablet, smarthphone or a computer in front of you, whatever the size of this is (wall size,pocket size,all of them), please consider the following tips: -It's non medical advice, just what have worked for me a)Taking a break every now and then, it's not the best to focus for more than a couple of hours on the screen, even if it's just a few seconds stand up (if applies) stretch and blink conciously, if you are in the middle of a exciting non-pausable scene, take the next loading screen or scene change as an opportunity to take the minibreak. b )If you are an avid reader and like to spend night time navigating or playing or whatever staring at the screen, consider lowering the bright of your device, go easy on your eyes, either changing that manually or trying software like FLUX (http://justgetflux.com/), our eyes play are the single most important part for this, the electronic entertainment. The anecdotical part is that, Flux may or may not work but if it's not On I can immediately tell (and sure it makes a difference when the computer is not mine, I can't look at those that easily), you get this orange-yellowish tint, but it's kind of a trade of for being able to read without getting eye-strained (at least like before). If you don't mind to give it a try, do it, if you do, then don't (redundant =P). The reasoning behind all of this ? (Yes there is one) People sometimes overlook their health, thinking it's pretty much a "given", but I'm of the opinion that IT'S not, there's a whole world of things we can't control, but at least for the things we can, why not try, being healty is the most valuable thing I think we'll ever have, it took me my entire (short/not) retrospective life to realize it, and because I want to play tomorrow, and the day after, I'm going to sleep right now (but will be back, I reckon there are holes to fill). But not before leaving the invitation for all of you to share your thoughts, after all my single point of view it's not absolute. *Note:(I auto-perceived a lot of generic speech up there, but thats that, my communications skills are that level I suppose)
