Are Cell Phones Mutating The Shape Of Our Bones?

What if cellphones were so powerful that they could mutate the shape of our bones. This is a surprising new topic that's recently been popping up 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 a way that you might think. In the past few years a study has been carried out by David Shahar and Mark Sayers who specialized in Biomechanics at Australia's University of the Sunshine Coast. Biomechanics looks at how mechanical laws apply to living organisms from how humans run to how insects beat their wings. Shahar and Sayers' study also involves Osteobiography, this is used to work out what someone's life was like from their bones.
