Advancements in technology change how people work and function, often speeding up the process or creating efficiency. However, there is a possibility that technology is affecting our bodies, especially from using it often.warns that using technology too much could form abnormalities. Researchers collaborated with a 3D designer to make images of a “future human” that shows tech-related problems from daily technological use. Researchers named the 3D model “Mindy”.
“Spending hours looking down at your phone strains your neck and throws your spine off balance. Consequently, the muscles in your neck have to expend extra effort to support your head,” said Caleb Backe, a health and wellness expert at Maple Holistics. He also mentioned that sitting in front of a computer for hours can pull the torso out in front of the hips, rather than the torso being vertically straight and aligned with the hips.
Future humans may also have a 90-degree elbow from using technology excessively. This idea is an extension of the explanation for text claw, both features of cubital tunnel syndrome, also from using the smartphone too much. The physical change is formed from “pressure or the stretching of the ulnar nerve which runs in a groove on the inner side of the elbow,” Djordjevic said.The posture of the 3D image, Mindy, also shows the effect of technology on the neck.
Technology is a huge asset, but it is interesting to know what impact it could possibly be having on the human body over time.

Assuming that cellphone technology won't change in the next 10,000 years, then yes, humans might evolve a hunchbacked appearance. Unlikely that cellphone will still exist as is in another 50 years though.
