How Tech is Hurting Our Bodies

The Impact of Technology on Health

In her latest book, Body Electric, Manoush Zomorodi dives deep into the physical repercussions of our tech-saturated lives. Following her previous work on mental health, this new title sheds light on how our devices may be causing more harm than we realize.

Zomorodi's research, a collaboration with Columbia University Medical Center, highlights several key issues:

• Constant connectivity can lead to chronic pain, particularly in the neck and back.
• The mental fatigue from excessive screen time can translate into physical exhaustion.
• Our reliance on technology may hinder our creativity and energy levels.

Through her extensive podcasting experience, Zomorodi encourages readers to rethink their relationship with technology. By understanding the physical toll of our devices, we can take steps to mitigate their impact on our health.
