I was just wondering how many hours the average Warrior has of 'Screen Time' each day/week?

    Cancer I don't know, but sitting in front of a computer for so many years clearly messed my spine up, my shoulders etc.

    There are many ailments associated with having a sedentary life style - add to that the fixed focal requirements of your eyes, the unusual lengthily held position of your head and incorrect posture and you can add inflamation of nerves and eye strain to the list.

    I suppose it can be claimed that using a computer for any length of time can give you cancer but, let's face it, according to experts (used to be drips but now under pressure) opinion, EVERYTHING can give you cancer.
