Consider The Privacy Of Your Computer Screen

By Christopher Kringal


We're in the information age these days. Technology rules our daily lives and we either must follow suit or be left behind. But that's okay because most of technology actually helps us. Take computers for example, where would we be without their daily use? However, staring at a monitor all day can be stressful on the eyes, neck and back.

The other benefit of using a laptop is you can be on vacation and still work on personal and work-related projects. These advancements in technology have made it so we don't have to leave our important obligations behind. We can take them with us and do the responsible thing.

If you think about working from outside the home, such as internet cafes and the like, you'll have many people around you. When you think about reading emails and other work-related correspondence, you'll want privacy. So, to avoid having prying eyes in public seeing what you're doing you should think about protecting your screen viewing. That's where these privacy controls come into play to help you out.

Knowing the dimensions of your monitor is important. When you go to a shop, online or off, you'll need certain pieces of information about the monitor you're protecting. Think about the diagonal measurement of your screen and jot it down. Make sure you know which manufacturer made your screen and also which part or model number it is.

Is this starting to make sense to you? Think about even the few moments you spend on a train or bus. If you've used a laptop, for instance, you've likely logged into your online banking to check on your finances. Perhaps you've even paid a bill online to pass the time in between destinations while you were in transit. These types of behavior leave you vulnerable.

There are many things to consider about the screens you view. You have your eye health to take into account. The last thing you want is over-exposure to radiation from your screens directly into your eyes causing them to weaken. Also, bright light sources reflecting off your screen cause eye stress and pain and even may cause you to view your screens in a non-ergonomic position for your neck. This causes neck and back pain. Additionally, for those of you who have to be secretive about the work you do for your jobs; privacy is important on an LCD monitor that you use.
