Are Cell Phones Changing the Shape of Our Bones?

Cell phones and tablets are causing changes to our bones that are not always positive. A recent study has suggested that using these devices can cause serious and lasting alterations to our bodies. David Shahar and Mark Sayers studied how biomechanics applies to living organisms, including humans. Their work involves osteography--the study of bone structure. This information is used to determine someone's life history from their bones.
