This is how we imagine a research commissioned by the American company TollFreeForwarding

The company is also keen to clarify that humans are unlikely to replicate Mindy’s amazing appearance in the future; anatomical changes in her are exaggerated. But it does represent some scientifically-based concerns that companies need to keep in mind. It is therefore advisable to take regular rest breaks; get up from your desk; stretch your legs a little and rest your eyes before staring at a screen.
Mindy, this is the name of the prototype, is the daughter of a research commissioned by an American company, today even better known, for having drew world attention to the possible psychophysical effects of unaware use of electronic devices.
Specifically, the company, focusing on the impact that everyday technology has on us, has collected scientific research and expert opinions on the subject, and then collaborated with a 3D designer to produce and visually show a human future. whose body has changed physically due to the use of smartphones and other technologies
In fact, the company, on its website, asks provocatively: “Could Mindy be the human of 3,000 and beyond?”
Technology has revolutionized the way of doing business and living everyday life. Whether it’s instant access to infinite knowledge through a device we have in our pocket or the ability for companies to expand into new markets around the world. In short, the extent of the impact of technology is unlimited and this trend shows no signs of abating.
But how could our body change through bad habits?
Claw hand – This could be caused by the smartphone. It could occur after constantly gripping the smartphone, bending the fingers in an unnatural position for long periods of time. Dr Nikola Djordjevic explains that “In the last few years, the use of the Internet through the mobile phone has intensified and has surpassed browsing from the computer. We now have the Internet in our hands. However, the way we hold our phones can cause tension at some points of contact causing “claw hand”, known as cubital tunnel syndrome. “
Elbow 90 degrees – Also known as “smartphone elbow” this is caused by the typical positioning of the arm when holding and using the smartphone, both for general use and to hold it to the ear during telephone conversations.
Hump or technological neck– Going back to Mindy’s posture, the effects of technology on the neck have also given rise to a new condition. In an article for Health Matters Dr. K. Daniel Riew of the New York-Presbyterian Orch Spine Hospital, explained exactly what the tech neck is:
“When you’re working on the computer or looking down at the phone, the muscles in the back of your neck have to contract to keep your head up. The further you look down, the harder your muscles have to work to keep your head up. These muscles can become excessively tired and sore looking at our smartphones and tablets or spending most of our working day on the computer. “
Smaller brain – This analysis is the one most linked to the analysis of past human evolutionary processes and is the one not evident to the naked eye.
Technology could also change the size of our brains: Research has shown how the human brain shrank between 1.9 million and 10,000 years ago. Because? Thanks to technological advances in agriculture, health and many other walks of life, humans can now do much less to survive than in the past. Following the evolutionary theory, not only people with bigger brains are selected.
Second eyelid – This change may be the most surprising. It is not, in fact, a change in the already existing limbs but a change with the consequent birth of a new physical component: a second eyelid. But how is this idea justified?
Research on the screens that cause headache, eyestrain and even blindness is well established, and it has been Kasun Ratnayake of the University of Toledo to suggest a radical evolutionary development that could limit the amount of harmful light to which the eyes are exposed: “Humans can develop a larger inner eyelid to prevent exposure to excessive light, or the lens of the eye can be evolved to block incoming blue light but not other high-length lights. wave like green, yellow or red “.
Mindy’s blink, coming from another inner eyelid that protects against excessive light exposure of technological devices, is the final evolutionary change of the futuristic human being with technological effects.
