American technology company TollFreeForwarding.com, after collecting scientific research and expert opinions, created a 3D model of a potential future person named “Mindy”.
Mindy dates from 3000 and has a body that has changed dramatically due to the use of smartphones, laptops and other technologies.
The “exaggerated” changes in the body illustrate the potential harm from overuse of technology, both physically and mentally, the researchers said.
Changes in the body will look like this:
- hump back
A hunched back — a more arched back and neck — is one of the potential changes technology could bring, according to the study. When we look at phones or office screens from above, our posture changes and our body is put under more stress. Caleb Buck, a healthcare professional at Maple Holistics, says squatting over your phone “destabilizes your spine” and your neck muscles have to “make an extra effort to support your head.”
- “text claw” (hand claw to pick up the phone)
According to research, Mindy also suffers from the so-called “text claw.” This condition occurs after grasping your smartphone and bending your fingers in an unnatural position for a long time.
- 90 degree elbow
Also known as “smartphone elbow”, 90-degree elbow is caused by holding your smartphone for too long. Scientifically, this position stretches the nerves and can cause “weakness in the arms.”
- “Tech neck” (depressed neck)
The impact of technology on the neck may also lead to a new situation: the “technical neck”. In an article in Health Matters, Dr. C. Daniel Riou has explained in detail what a “technical neck” is: “When you are working at a computer or looking at your phone, the back muscles of your neck have to contract to support your head. . The more you look down, the harder your muscles have to work to keep your head upright. These muscles can become overloaded and start to whine from the fact that we look at our phones or spend most of our time working at the computer.
- Big skull and small brain
TollFreeForwarding research shows that Mindy has a huge skull to protect her from the harms of the smartphone’s RF radiation. In the future, humans will also have a small brain inside this skull.
To prevent headaches, eyestrain and blindness, Mindy adapts “an enlarged inner eyelid to prevent excessive light exposure.”
