And it's fascinating how the tech-neck only affects the younger population. My kitchen psychology theory is that it's related to privacy. "Our" generation[0] used (and still uses) more text-based media, which is harder to get a read on with a quick glance over one's shoulder. But with Snapchat and others where images are a huge part of the content, the users put the devices right at their chest as high as possible and crane down so that people around them can't see their screen as easily. And after doing that for long enough, it's just a habit, they do everything like that because that's the way they are used to doing it. Maybe a privacy screen could ease the issue? The kind we have on laptops that narrow the side viewing angle so that it's completely opaque even slightly from the side. [0] GenX/Elder Millennial is my theory about the majority age for HN
