Mindy in the year 3000

Scientific experts hired by the site tollfreeforwarding.com have created images of Mindy, a possible future human in the year 3000. Mindy's body "has physically changed due to consistent use of smartphones, laptops, and other tech."

Like other humans of the year 3000, Mindy has developed a hunched-back, "text-claw," "tech-neck," a thicker skull, smaller brain, and a second eyelid ("to prevent exposure to excessive light").



In other words, technology is going to turn us all into something like morlocks.

Repetitive activities have no effect on evolution. alterations need to happen at the genetic level and the organism has to pass them on to offspring.

For over a hundred years, Dobermanns have had their tails docked immediately after birth. When will they start being born with short tails?

eddi and Phideaux, you mean Lamarck was wrong?

Lamarck? This is flat-out Lysenkoism! Which was Lamarckism taken to its "logical" extreme.

I saw the classic Outer Limits ep "The Sixth Finger" while taking 9th grade biology. David McCallum is given a treatment that accelerates evolution, but it's the "March of Evolution" trope--in the future, humans will have giant brains in their giant bald heads, just because. But evolution means adaptation to the environment, so he really should've just become perfectly evolved to live in that one room as Homo couchpotatus. One hand would merge with the TV remote, and the other become impervious to Cheetos dust. Then, he would evolve into Ilya Kuryakin and watch himself on the tube.

There is evolution, and there is de-evolution.

Meanwhile, younger generations are already starting to be more wary of cell phones and anti-social media than millennials and boomers. Which is good.
