OMG, you're texting your way to back pain

[*BlackFox]

Humans were designed to stand upright. And yet in this modern world, too many of us spend our days with our heads slumped over for a simple reason: we're staring at the tiny screen of a smartphone.

People spend an average of 2 to 4 hours each day with their neck bent at this unnatural angle while shooting off emails or texts. That's 700 to 1,400 hours a year. The success of social media is has led to an epidemic of bad smartphone posture.

The average adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds when it's in the upright or neutral position. However, because of that pesky thing called physics -- gravitational pull -- the cranium becomes heavier the more you bend your neck. Several times heavier, according to research from Dr. Kenneth Hansraj, chief of spine surgery at New York Spine Surgery and Rehabilitation Medicine, which will be published in Surgical Technology International.

I noticed my posture was suffering due to the amount of tech I consume. Started paying attention to it and I was back to having awesome posture in 2 weeks. I workout like crazy so the core for good posture was already there though.

i dunno, i hate using the internet on my phone. the screen is just too small for that kind of stuff imo, and anyway, i use the internet when im home all the time, why would i use it when i go outside? that's my personal rule, when im out, im out. when i return, ill check all my mails and personal messages and notifications and friend requests and news feeds and all that jazz. i dont get it, i dont even wish to see them when im out.
