  • Slouching over your phone for hours at a time is ruining your neck and hurting your back muscles. “iPosture" or "Text Neck" are just two of a few phrases doctors throw around to describe the excessive stress on neck muscles. According to a study of young adults in the U.K., 84% of those tracked experienced back pain during the last year, mainly due to being hunched over smartphones, tablets, and computers.
  • Using your phone too much can cause inflammation in your tendons and enhance existing conditions, like tendinitis and carpal tunnel. Similarly, "Cell Phone Elbow" describes tingling or numbness in ring and pinky fingers after bending your elbow for long periods of time.

      I do agree with the author of this website. Such phenomenon not only exist in S. Korea, but also it is very common in Hong Kong. In fact, it is true that addicted smartphone user usually suffered from discomfort of their body parts and alienated relationship from family members and friends. As a smartphone user, I should be aware of being addicted in using mobile phones.

  • “blue light” that smartphones emit interferes with the production of melatonin
  • smartphones for work at night also interferes with employees’ ability to detach and recover from work
  • constantly stay connected to their work obligations
    • alvislam
       
      2) after-work obligations
  • work on a smartphone after 9 p.m. increased the likelihood that an employee would be less engaged at work the next day
  • An otherwise pleasant evening
  • may be disrupted by an email notification from your boss reminding you of that 30-page report due in a week
  • reduced the amount and quality of sleep
  • “Most employees use their smartphones in bed at night, which is problematic because the “blue light” that smartphones emit interferes with the production of melatonin, a chemical that facilitates falling and staying asleep,” said Lanaj, the lead author of the project. “Using smartphones for work at night also interferes with employees’ ability to detach and recover from work. Ruminating about impending deadlines or work responsibilities consumes cognitive resources leaving employees more depleted in the morning and less engaged at work the following day.”
