laptop fertility research.
Having a computer near the torso (organs and glands) for long periods of time, has various negative effects. This is true for males, females and even animals who might lounge near computer equipment often in search of extra warmth.
Solutions:
Keep the computer on a desk or table when using it.
Avoid working on couches, beds or chairs where having the computer on your lap is necessary.
Question:
Do portable computer laptop desks (used while working in bed) reduce the problem? Are the materials in these portable desks able to reduce the transfer of heat, or do some of them contain metals that would actually intensify it?
