A person of the future may have tentacles instead of fingers. Scientists believe that this will happen due to the constant interaction with the touch screens of smartphones. Sounds unlikely, but it is actually a normal process of adaptation of a species to its environment. According to the researchers, since humanity has lost the need to adapt to natural conditions, our evolution has taken a new path and now gadgets will influence the change in people's appearance. As evidence, scientists cite curious arguments.
According to them, since the invention of the mobile phone and computer, each next generation of people began to be born with longer and more flexible fingers than the previous one. It turns out our limbs are being modified to make our work with technology easier. Our body begins to adjust to gadgets. What will happen next? What appearance will the people of the XXII century have?
Humanity is mutating. We are turning into a new species of Homo sapiens- Homo Evolutis- man of the XXII century. This opinion is shared by the American futurist Juan Enrique.
It's hard to believe, but geneticists agree with the futurist. According to scientists, humanity is indeed in a phase of change, and gadgets are one of the main reasons for the change.
In 2011, the UN recognized Internet access as an inalienable human right. In fact, UN experts came to the conclusion that people can no longer live without access to the worldwide network and gadgets.
Futurologists have the same fears, who believe that soon the virtual world can almost completely replace reality for a person, and such changes will affect not only psychological, but also physical parameters of people.
Geneticists believe that deterioration in long-term memory will affect appearance. Most likely people of the future will have small heads, since the required brain volume will be less than today's indicators.
In addition, an excessive passion for virtual reality will significantly reduce the mobility of people, which means that many muscles, as unnecessary, will enter the stage of atrophy. In this case, humanity runs the risk of becoming weakened (from insufficient load) bodies with possible problems with being overweight.

According to geneticists today, too active work with gadgets is leading humanity along the path of irreversible changes. The most likely of which will be redness and enlargement of the eyes (this will allow us not to get tired of working with monitors), and besides, our fingers can gradually turn into tentacles, because they are the ones that are more suited to work with touch surfaces. But not all experts agree with this theory.
According to scientists, many health problems affect only the lower strata of the population, tk. along with the development of gadgets, the growth of medical technologies is also taking place, then most likely, in the distant future, wealthy earthlings will be able to afford to preserve their youth with the help of the latest developments.
How realistic is the future predicted by futurologists: the question is open. However, in modern psychiatry, a new term gadgetomania has already appeared, as psychiatrists designate a new type of addiction to digital technology. To date, according to statistical data, at least 15% of the world's population already suffers from this disease.
