1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation. The average Australian spends five point

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: sixty seven hours a day on their phone. Wow. Wow,

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: we've come a long way from the days where I

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: was jealous at Gidget had a phone that went into

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 1: her bedroom that attached to that long curly call. We

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: never had that here. No one never had separate lines

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: into their room. No, there was one phone in the house.

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: And these figures are even higher for millennials and gen z.

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: Their average screen time is totally seven hours. And that's why.

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: Obviously we're seeing lots of health risks in terms of

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: poor sleep, anxiety, depression. But what about this, it's actually

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: affecting our bodies. Let me explain the nature of phone

13
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: pinky So your pinky finger, apparently it's changing shape. Lots

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: of people have been going to see doctors with pain

15
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: in their hands because the pinky finger now has a

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: kink in it from the way you hold your phone.

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't think I hold it like that. I hold

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: my phone like that. Hold look like that's how mums

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: hold their phone. Well, I'm not going to get pinky

20
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: finger then, or stink or pink eye whatever that is eye.

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: It's always an American shows I always got pink eye.

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: Was back your balm and then you rub your eyes.

23
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: Well that's what happens. I'm sorry for the Well that's

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: what happened. Just you know. The doctor said, so how

25
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: do you hold it? Show me how you hold your

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: hold mine like that? So you're prone then to getting

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: pinky finger. That's a nice picture of your boys on

28
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: your screensaver. So I look at that. Have you got

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: my finger? Got it? I've got it? Well this is

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: this is when you your little finger kinks out. Yeah,

31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: you're so very callous your hands. Ryan was that? So

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: this medical practitioner in Sydney has said, at least once

33
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: a fortnight I'll see someone who has some sort of

34
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: issue caused by mobile phone usage. And it's often a

35
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: teenager coming in in pain because their finger. When you

36
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: close your hand your fist and open it up, your

37
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: finger hurts. And so this discomfort can lead to have

38
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: a look at this picture of this girl here, she's

39
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: posted this on t top. Oh goodness, yeah, the finger's

40
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: got a giant kinking. My mind's heading like that as well.

41
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: Look at that. How often are you on your phone?

42
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm on it way too much. I am on it

43
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: way too much. Remember when we're at school and I

44
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: reckon probably about twenty minutes a day, which isn't much,

45
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: maybe two hours. This is the modern version of when

46
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: we're at school and you could tell if someone was

47
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: left handed or right handed because of the knob you'd

48
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: get as to where you held your pen up near

49
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: your fingernail. There, I'm left handed, so I had a

50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: knob in my middle finger at the top. Where's yours?

51
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: Enough about school, Did you get a knob? No? I

52
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: didn't get an you'd have a knob on your right

53
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: hand from handwriting, and so this is the modern version.

54
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: Do you know what you're even saying? I know exactly

55
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I know what you're even saying. So

56
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: not only is it messing up your mind, it's messing

57
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: up your pinkies. It should be. You just got to

58
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: get off your phone, that's what I think. Well, I

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: don't have it right now, get off your phone, your

60
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: pinky finger and pink eye. Let's scratch your bum
