A member asked:
I spend hours on my computer each day (connected to the internet) can this radiation cause cancer? also can it cause wrinkles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a problem: There is no connection between computer use and cancer. I suppose that if you had to squint your eyes to bring the computer into focus, that given enough time some wrinkles might form but this would be mechanical and not due to the video screen.
