A new study published in the journal Scientific Reports suggests that people who use their devices for extended periods of time are more likely to develop a bony growth at the base of their skull. This growth, known as an external occipital protuberance (EOP), is thought to be caused by the constant strain placed on the neck muscles when people look down at their devices.

Secret City Beneath London
Imagine that while wandering around London, you're genuinely walking over hundreds of miles of tunnels, passageways and abandoned tube stations. Yes, there is a whole world underground. Let's try to learn more about what's hidden there. Until recently, nobody knew there was a vast network of underground tunnels and passages. It wasn't until 1980 that journalist Duncan Campbell could sneak into it. The history of this underground network is so extensive that no one has a complete map, which makes it even more intriguing. However, today we will look at some locations we know about. The first type is secret passageways, which include all shelters as well as tunnels between famous buildings, such as the passages leading from Buckingham as well as Westminster palaces. Additionally, more than 30 bunkers and tunnels are dispersed throughout the city. Many of these passages date back to the 20th century or even before, and some go back to the Industrial Revolution; they are all quite old and seem disturbing. The second category is postal passages; we know several of these across the underground network but are unsure of their precise locations. The postmaster general's secret tunnel, located in the centre of London, is the most well-known postal route. It was built in the middle of the 20th century to carry essential letters. The first tube in the world debuted in London. The city's subway system is extensive, but there were many more stations before. Deep beneath London's residential areas lies a network of abandoned tube stations, almost all of which have remained unaltered since the Last Passe. Tube in London This small round building is a reminder of when people used it to cross the river during the Victorian era when London's population experienced a big boom. Of course, the authorities needed to do something about the sudden increase in population, so they built a test version of the first underground system nearby. It once connected the northern and southern parts of the river, but now these are just the remains of the long-lost system. After much criticism, fear and improvements, the first full-fledged tube station was eventually built. It closed around 150 years ago. The fate of the station had been sealed when they built Tower Bridge right next to it, which sounds better—a walk in the fresh air over the bridge or an expensive journey through a dark, cramped tunnel. Of course, the tower. The tunnel was built in less than a year, and in February 1870, it carried its first passengers. Down Street Station was forced to close just 25 years after it opened for two reasons: first, there were other, more convenient stations nearby, and second, the locals were wealthy and could afford more expensive modes of transportation. However, Downstreet wasn't out of commission for long; in 1939, the platform was bricked up, and the terminal was clandestinely converted into the executive committee of the railroad's headquarters because many railroads at the time were experiencing financial dif Churchill used to refer to this location as a barn. Still, since then, it hasn't been used and remains vacant today, giving the station, to put it bluntly, a scary appearance. aldwich this station has an absurd backstory despite the fact that it was essentially useless it somehow lasted for about 80 years and individuals almost never went there since there were more convenient Alternatives close by but it's actually a good thing that they didn't near it for so long thanks to this aldwich station saved the most helpful Treasures of England here individuals once hid the most precious operates of art and Relics for example the world famous Elgin marbles in the 60s the station commenced working only throughout rush hours on weekdays and in 1994 it was mercifully spared from suffering simply since they didn't want to spend extra money to substitute the elevators here now this station is often utilised for filming many famous British TV series you can also check it out throughout the tour of hidden London Clapham South yes technically it's not an abandoned station but few individuals know that once it served as living quarters for new arrivals to Britain there were beds as well as wash basins for them it was quite noisy as individuals heard passing trains all the time so it couldn't be called the most comfortable accommodation You can still see the signs for the Medical Aid points and an improvised canteen when doing the tour of this station. Those who remained there paid six shillings per day, equivalent to 33 pence today. Numerous abandoned tube stations can be found along Brompton Road on the Piccadilly line. The authorities closed Brompton Road for five months in 1926, and less than ten years later, they closed it entirely. This station met the same demise as Down Street because it was too close to its neighbours and destined to be abandoned. However, in the middle of the 20th century, this station began to be used once more. Like the street, this location might be an underground bunker in an emergency, with command posts on the top levels and operation rooms converted into lifts. This station is a remnant, and its tunnels have seen significant occasions in British history. York Street The Piccadilly line once more—what a fortunate line. It's a shame because the station was truly beautiful. Just take a look at these amazing Oxblood tiles. Even now, York Road has a rather pleasant appearance, but there's still a chance that one day we'll see. York Road closed in 1932 on the same day that the portion of the line from Finsbury Park to Arnos Grove opened. As a result, the number of passengers fell, and for about two years, there was debate about whether to leave the station open. What a great world of underground London. Who might have known they have a whole web of constructions below that hold a lot of history? It's a Pity that the passengers are closed. It would've been very interesting to see all of this, but also pretty scary now that this city area is under reconstruction. If more individuals settled there, the station could be opened up again.
