With notably shocking features such as smaller brains, thicker skulls and second eyelids, humans’ way of evolution may be heavily disrupted by technology. Years of looking down at mobile phones and laptops may impact mankind’s development with features such as hunched backs and ‘text claws’.

That being said, the researchers reportedly accentuated the features in the images to show the mental and physical harm that comes with the overuse of technology.

Features also include what the researchers called a ‘tech neck’, a 90-degree elbow due to the use of keyboards and a second eyelid, which may be adapted to avoid the harm caused by screens’ excessive light.

I guess the Jonas Brothers forgot to mention this in their song.
