Discover about Facebook related to Cancer

I was listening to radio when the DJ was discussing about this topic that Facebook may increase the risk of cancer.

Out of curiosity, i searched the net and found a few websites related to this topic.

Ya, i'm frequently on fb recently... maybe i should visit it less.
However, I believe social websites like facebook and friendster have indeed help us to keep in touch with a lot friends and also help us to get back some of our long lost friends. It is also a way to let us know how our friends are doing recently.

One thing it highlighted is lack of face to face interactions. People spend more time on computer while spend less time with people around. People are getting more attached to computer like how they are attached to their handphone. That's how the advancement in technology has change people's life. Maybe we should recall the days we don't have computers and handphones.

Let's have a day without handphone and computer..!
