The human head weighs about a dozen pounds. But as the neck bends forward and down, the weight on the #-Link-Snipped-# begins to increase. At a 15-degree angle, this weight is about 27 pounds, at 30 degrees it’s 40 pounds, at 45 degrees it’s 49 pounds, and at 60 degrees it’s 60 pounds.
That’s the burden that comes with staring at a smartphone — the way millions do for hours every day, according to #-Link-Snipped-# published by Kenneth Hansraj in the #-Link-Snipped-#.
