Is your smartphone giving you wrinkles? 'Techneck' caused by constantly looking down at gadgets
"We all know smart phones are zapping our free time, our sleep and even ruining our sex lives but it seems they are responsible for the demise of our looks as well.
Whether it is on the daily commute, at our desks or even lying in bed, we are constantly looking down at our gadgets.
All this screen gazing means tech-obsessed Britons could be ageing faster than ever. As the head is constantly bent downwards a new wrinkle appears around the neck and it’s not helping our backs either.
Labeled the 'Techneck', the wrinkle around the neck and chin is caused by the modern day compulsion to always be checking handheld devices and computers.
Joining the likes of 'laughter lines', 'crows' feet' and 'worry wrinkles'; the 'Techneck' is the latest face furrow and was identified following a surge of neck-related enquiries for treatment.
CACI, experts in non-surgical facelifts, have noticed the emergence of the new wrinkle amongst tech-obsessives and are offering to combat it with a treatment called the Microlift.
Dean Nathanson, Managing Director of CACI international commented:
‘We're a hard working nation and our hectic everyday lives mean that keeping one's head down, be it buried in work emails or in an e-reader, is completely the norm.
‘Recently we noticed a surge in enquiries for our product, specifically to combat lines around the neck area."
Summary:
Clinics are seeing a rise in patients wanting to fight lines around the neck. Experts believe the wrinkles are caused by staring down at phones. Also we are a hard working nation and we always need to read emails or work with computers or phones. This is completely normal. So they call the wrinkle: Techneck.
Opinion:
Everybody knew that this was coming. Because all acts have their consequences. If we use the phone a lot ,we will seems older than we really are. But I don't care about it, all people will have it for that reason, all the world will seem older. so if everybody has the same problem the society won't fix this. And other reason is that I'm sure that next week the technology will create something to avoid it or overcome the wrinkle. Even though, we can see that technology creates bad habits and they affect our health. In conclusion , modern is not always progress.
