Title: Health issues regarding xbox
Post by: realg123 on May 24, 2007, 08:27:52 AM
Hi fellas I am doing an essay. The essay is about health risks on new technology. So I was thinking about doing it on the xbox or gamecube. My question is do you guys know any health risks concerning the xbox, or gamecube. And where I could find the proof for these health risks. Or does anyone else know where there is new technology with alot of health risks.

Thanks in advance

Take Care

you've come to the right man :P

XBOX HEALTH RISK
*You can get siezures when playing for too long depending on your health
*You can get epilepsy  due to the flashing images on your television
*You can endanger your health or endanger your life at the risk of working inside the Xbox's/Gamecube's (console's) components
*When working inside the Xbox's/Gamecube's component, you have to be ground or may electricute your self.

You can find all this health risk and saftey hazards, if you get any Xbox or Gamecube game, if you get an XBox game, the first page will show the Health risk. If you get a gamecube game, there should be a note along with the manual containing the health risks

Hope this helps:P

Also continuous use of the controller can lead to Cumulative Trauma Disorders, such as trigger finger or others.  CTD's are bad news and many people have habits that lead to them and they don't even realize it (why many people have carpal tunnel syndrome)
