Managing a Modern Malady

You have heard of driving at breakneck speed; you have experienced stiff neck; you may even be lucky enough to have a neck like a swan’s. But what is this new kid on the block called tech-neck?

Well, as children spend increasing amounts of time hunched over their devices like IPads, and smartphones, medical professionals are detecting posture problems in younger children.

Now a Canadian company has created a new product which will prevent children developing “techneck.” Children are particularly vulnerable to this condition because their bones are still developing.

This company, Medical Wearable Solutions, has created a new product called EyeForcer which deals with this problem. The product is a pair of Bluetooth-enabled eyeglass frames with an electronic device. The device will warn or even shut down the game when the user is in a harmful posture.
