The Use of Technology and its Involvement in Hand Pain in Generation Z

Is the development of technology showing an increased likelihood for younger generations to develop hand diseases earlier than the national average? This is relevant as those who receive hand diseases early on, are more likely to pass it on to their children, eventually leading to permanent bone change in future generations. Hand diseases such as arthritis and Carpal Tunnel causes permanent injury in one’s bone structure and can lead to excruciating pain. It would not be optimal if future generations are more likely to feel this pain and continue to make it worse because of the advancements in technology.
