More People Experience Cybersickness From Technology

BOSTON (CBS) – If you feel a little queasy while watching the big screen or scrolling pages on your smartphone, you may be suffering from a relatively new phenomenon of the modern age, a condition called digital motion sickness or cybersickness. As reported by the New York Times, more and more users of technology are developing nausea and dizziness even if they don’t have a history of motion sickness. Women suffer more than men, and the more realistic an experience is, like a 3D action flick, the more likely you are to get sick. Experts say the brain can be trained to better handle these stimuli but that may damper your reaction time in other situations, like while driving a car.
