We're all aware that we live in a world that's been transformed by technology, and while this provides us with many benefits, it can also have some long-term consequences.
It's believed humans inhabiting the Earth 1,000 years from now will have very different physical characteristics than us now, and new technologies may be the reason why.
This outlook is due to 'Mindy', a human model created by a group of researchers from Med Alert Help and the New York-Presbyterian Orch Spine Hospital.
This experiment shows all the transformations that humans will undergo, as well as what they will look like in the year 3000.
The characteristics of humans in the futureToll Free Forwarding has published a report which states that the "constant use of smartphones, laptops and other technology" will be why our bodies will change so much. These are some of the features that are expected to change.
1. Stooped overFirst, humans of the future will have a hump.
"The design and habits of users of modern technological objects, such as smartphones and computer monitors, have a significant impact on the way we sit and stand," says the report. Thus, our descendants will be more stooped than we are.
"It has been shown that constantly adjusting our position to look down at our phone or up at our office screen strains parts of our body that determine our posture."
2. Claws instead of hands"A recently coined condition, the 'text claw,' occurs after constantly holding your cell phone and curling your fingers around it in an unnatural position for long periods of time," the article states.
According to the media outlet, this change "is directly caused by the use of one particular technological device: the smartphone."
3. 90° elbow'Mindy' explains another modification that will come as a result of frequent cell phone use, the 90° angled elbow.
"Also known as 'smartphone elbow', it is due to the position of the arm when holding and using smartphones, either for general use or for holding them next to the ear during phone calls."
4. The skull will get bigger but the brain will get smallerHumans in the year 3000 will have a larger skull but, at the same time, a very small brain.
"It's possible that we will develop thicker skulls, but if a scientific theory is to be believed, technology can also change the size of our brains," they write.
5. Thicker necksFor its part, the neck will also go through some obvious changes.
"Going back to 'Mindy's' posture, the effects of technology on the neck have also resulted in a new condition, aptly named 'tech neck," the report adds, stating the neck will get thicker and wider.
6. New eyelids"Screens cause headaches, eyestrain and even blindness," the researchers say. "Humans can develop a larger inner eyelid to avoid exposure to excessive light, or the lens of the eye can evolve to block incoming blue light, but not other high-wavelength light such as green, yellow or red," says Kasun Ratnayake of the University of Toledo (Ohio, USA).
