London - The modern world is a dangerous place. For, thanks to the technological revolution, our enfeebled bodies are now prone to a raft of ailments.
This week, doctors warned us of “text neck”, an ache which develops in those who spend hours looking down at their mobile phones.
Then there’s BlackBerry Thumb, a pain experienced in the wrists from too much tapping away on tiny keypads. It was deemed so serious that Robert Jackson, a Cheshire based law-firm, took on extra staff to deal with smartphone-related injury claims.
Then there’s iPod Ear, Laptop Knee, Computer Screen Syndrome - and Mobile Anxiety Disorder, or M.A.D., a neurosis associated with leaving the house before realising your mobile phone is still on the kitchen table. - Daily Mail
