Are Cell Phones Mutating the Shape of Our Bones?
What if smartphones were so potent that they could alter the shape of our bones? This intriguing new debate has recently erupted in the media. It is based on a scientific study that contends that using smartphones and tablets can result in significant, long-lasting changes to our bodies—and not in the ways you might expect. David Shahar and Mark Sayers, biomechanics experts from Australia's University of the Sunshine Coast, conducted a study in recent years. Biomechanics examines how mechanical principles apply to live organisms, such as how humans move and how insects beat their wings. Osteobiography is another component of Shahar and Sayers' study and is utilized to determine a person's life. It all has to do with something called an EOP, or external occipital protuberance, which some experts and commentators have described as a foam ball or a devil's horn in reality the EOP is a growth of bone found in the back of the skull connected to the nuchal ligament, which is an important ligament that plays a role in connecting Nick muscles to the skull. Now let's get back to what the researchers were actually doing with the study in the first place by looking at chiropractors' x-rays of patients between the ages of 18 and 40. The EOP provides an effect that is somewhat similar to an anchor at the top of the nuchal ligament. While constantly checking their phones and tablets was a major factor during screen time, the neck naturally curves forward. According to the theory, this causes additional pressure to be placed on the area where the sculpt me smuzzle is located, and in order to compensate, the EOP gradually lengthens until it reaches about several milliliters. The outcome is also known as text neck. Additionally, the fundings showed that in 2016, it was predominantly discovered in men. Shah Harden Sayers reported a larger Yi Opie and 67% of men compared to 20% of women based on a test group of 218 people by 2018, they had looked at 1200 people, and it appeared that guys were 5 times more likely to receive these enormous messages necks, but what is the possible impact? When spikes has been attacked in the media by others, experts point out that the research is not definitive and that it includes assumptions like any scientific paper. Longer skull bones are nothing new, according to archaeologists, and they are particularly typical in males. The overwhelming consensus among the study's detractors is that there isn't enough concrete data to support the assertion that using a cell phone genuinely transforms you into Hellboy, therefore Shahar and There is no denying the profound impact that technology has on our lives. The notion that future generations are changing as a result of constant interaction with their devices is really a serious issue that needs to be addressed. In the end, it will be the archaeologists of the future who make that call. Who knows, maybe in the future there won't even be large spikes poking out of their necks, so perhaps there will be a few more strolls in the park and less games of Angry Birds.
