Feeling queasy lately? Why your phone may be making you sick...


Technology has come a long way in a very short time and we humans need time to adjust. 

Reports of digital motion sickness are rapidly rising as iOS 7 and other new displays are throwing us off a bit. As our gadgets get better at mimicking motion and dimension, our brains wind up disoriented. That’s because the inner ear senses movement while our bodies are still. 

Apple's new parallax display in the new operating system adds depth and a 3D effect which causes images to subtly pop out at us. The effect can be hard on the eyes as they try to converge focus at different depths. Users experiencing headaches or a queasy sensation should disable that feature which can be found in Settings, General, Accessibility and turn the “Reduce Motion” option on.
