We're All Going Blind
from the wonderful dept
Unfortunately, this probably doesn't surprise too many people, but all this staring at a screen all day can be pretty bad for the eyes. A new study is suggesting that staring at a screen can lead to glaucoma, which can cause blindness for some. Of course, there are still some questions about the study, and more research needs to be done, but hopefully research like this will lead to some changes to better protect users' health.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
