Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), France's step-tracking app 'WeWard' unveiled an AI model called 'Sam' that visualizes how immobile life affects human appearance and health.
Sam is a 'sofa goblin' depicting the average inactive human being in 2050, showing various symptoms such as bent posture, abdominal obesity, neck wrinkles, crumpled skin, dark circles, hair loss, and foot swelling.
Weward says "Today's culture centered on convenience has made food ordering, business meetings, and communication with friends all possible on the sofa"This is why we spend an extraordinary amount of time sitting in front of the screen", he pointed out.
According to the WHO, 80% of adolescents worldwide do not meet the recommended physical activity, which increases the risk of various diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, and dementia. In particular, long sitting life can reduce blood circulation, causing swelling of the feet and ankles, and in severe cases, it can lead to blood clots.
Sam's appearance is not just a warning. Long-term use of a smartphone causes the neck to lean forward and the back to bend 'tech neck' symptoms, which can lead to chronic shoulder and neck pain. In addition, blue light from the screen causes skin aging and pigmentation, and causes dry eyes, blurred vision, headaches, and decreased concentration. Experts recommend '20-20-20 rule' to prevent this. In other words, you look at 20 feet (about 6 meters) away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.
Weward urged alarm, saying "If you're looking for something scary, look at our future that a life in motion will create."
