From a psychological point of view, Ken will soon have health problems if he continues to play with the smartphone so much.

- Smartphones make you depressed and lonely
Our posture has a decisive influence on our mental well-being. If the person is depressed or down, he usually automatically adopts a bent posture. Using a smartphone supports this lowered posture, which is why it can have a negative impact on our psyche.

There is also the risk that you too easily become dependent on the opinions and ratings of other people, especially on social networks, and that you feel bad if you receive insufficiently positive feedback.

--- Smartphones damage the back and hand muscles
If you constantly stare at your smartphone while standing or walking, you have to lower your head forward to see something due to the often very small screen. This creates a hunched back and lets the shoulders hang down. Experts then speak of the so-called "head down generation".

The result: the neck muscles are overstrained, so pain in the neck and shoulder area is inevitable.

In addition, constant typing can overload fine motor skills. In this case, there is a risk of tendinitis on the wrists or in the thumbs.
