Writing an SMS makes you ill



Philadelphia / USA --

This is based on a U.S. study by Professor Judith Gold of Temple University conducted. These young adults 18 to 21 years were studied. Conspicuously similar to the clinical picture that that can occur in people with computer workstations. The stiff neck posture may harden the muscles in the upper back - that often causes pain and limited movement.
Gold encourages scientists to deal with the possible long-term consequences. Writing text messages is still a young form of communication that has spread only a few years ago.
Since the posture of computer workers and there are similar to those already somewhat long duration health data, forecasts could potentially be created for writing the long-term effects of SMS.
In medicine, various electronic devices as a cause of health problems are known. The excessive use of a computer mouse can lead to tendonitis. Children who have often played with the Game Boy, have joint problems in the thumb, but also on the neck.
