Game Arthritis

What are the real effects of dig­i­tal gam­ing to our fin­gers, hands, and bod­ies?
The con­for­mity of inter­faces produces defor­mity. It’s a fact. Call it “the real­ity of the virtual”. Pro­longed vic­ar­i­ous aggression lead to per­ma­nent phys­i­cal dis­fig­u­ra­tion. Gam­ing activ­i­ties pro­duce real con­se­quences for the users.

Research has been con­ducted for years in sev­eral clin­i­cal lab­o­ra­to­ries across the globe but doc­tors and researchers are not will­ing to share their find­ings with the general pop­u­la­tion. How­ever, evi­dence of new technologically-​​induced dis­eases is now becom­ing known out­side of the sci­en­tific com­mu­nity. These pathologies — labeled col­lec­tively “Game arthritis” — are officially not “ recognized”.

Scary stuff, I have big knuckles, hopefully not related, but then again, my dad's knuckles are massive
