A boy who used a laptop every day developed what is known as 'toasted skin' syndrome—a condition caused by prolonged exposure to moderate heat. According to reporting from Ars Technica, the incident highlights a lesser-known health risk of intensive computer use.

Although laptops do not usually become hot enough to cause typical burns, sustained heat exposure from daily use can still harm skin over time. The condition serves as a reminder that common tech devices warrant careful use habits, particularly for students and professionals who spend extended hours working on computers.
