Fight back against 'text neck'
Back in the day, agrarian-based labor made our necks sore. Today? Smartphones. If you've suffered from "text neck" — the result of looking down at your phone too much — a new wearable called Alex says it can help. The device sits on the back of your neck and will vibrate if it senses your posture slipping. (Check out the doodad's Kickstarter by searching "Alex NAMU.") But it's doubtful that a slight vibration will get people to change their ways. Might I suggest an electric shock?
