Are Cell Phones Mutating the Shape of Our Bones?

This is an unexpected new topic that has recently been all over the media. It stems from a scientific report that suggests using phones and tablets can cause serious and long-lasting changes to our bodies—and not in the way that you might think. What if cellphones were so powerful that they could change the shape of our bones? David Shahar and Mark Sayers, biomechanics specialists from Australia's University of the Sunshine Coast, have been studying biomechanics for the last several years. Biomechanics examines how mechanical rules apply to living things, such as people running and insects beating their wings. Osteobiography is another area of study for Shahar and Sayers. Osteobiology is the study of determining an individual's life story from their bones. It has long been known that skeletons adapt to an individual's lifestyle; for instance, some remarkably large skeletons were discovered in 1924 on the Pacific island of Tinian. Stone structures nearby explained the substantial nature of the island's bones because the islanders worked with heavy stones, which naturally led to the development of larger arms, legs, and collarbones. According to Shaw Heart and Sayers, youths' bones are being shaped by contemporary technology. The reason for this is that there is a structure known as an external occipital protuberance, or EOP Osteobiology, which Shahar and Sayers study also includes, is used to infer information about an individual's life from their bones. It has long been known that skeletons adapt to an individual's lifestyle; for instance, some experts and commentators have been more colorful and have described the EOP as a foam ball or a devil-like horn, but in reality, it is a growth of bone located in the back of the skull that is connected to the nuchal ligament, an important ligament that plays
