Alright, I don't understand why no one in the computer industry seems to care about this. I frequently visit hardware forums and no one really gives knowledgeable answers on this, even though the forum is very very good and people there know a lot! I also can't find any articles giving me a good answer. So maybe people here will know.

My (closely related) questions are this: does staring at a computer monitor for a lot of time every day eventually damage eyesight (e.G. Cause shortsightedness)? Secondly, are lcd or crt monitors better in this respect? That is, which type causes less eyestrain? There was a very brief mention in this page computer.Howstuffworks.Com/monitor9.Htm that lcd was healthier in this respect. However, I don't think I have full faith in that article because I did find one detail that was incorrect, and they just seemed way too brief on that part.
