Nomophobia

Andy | Thursday, March 22, 2018 | Best Blogger Tips
Nomophobia is the irrational fear of being without your mobile phone or being unable to use your phone for some reason, such as the absence of a signal or running out of minutes or battery power. Young adults aged between 18 and 24 tended to be the most addicted to their mobile phones, with 77 per cent unable to stay apart for more than a few minutes, and those aged 25 to 34 followed at 68 per cent. My thanks to the U.K. Daily Mail News for the above information.

    Thank you to you for this information which unfortunately applies to all the young and a little less young people of the world. A week ago I was at the birthday of my little girl and during the whole meal, the 4 young people who were also invited were hooked on their mobile phone. Every 10 seconds they watch if they have a sms or a mms so much that one can not have any sustained conversation with them. It's horrible but your photo is excellent and a good proof of all that.

    And I'm sure there is a drug for it, sigh. I also hope the people on the other side of that door can see out.

    Even though I grew up without such a convenience and I'm certainly not as addicted as the younger generation, I still get little pangs of anxiety if I discover that I've forgotten my phone. It has certainly taken hold of many generations.

    My husband and I don't have cell phones and never will. Are we the only ones?

    Your photo is a sad commentary on youth. Some might suggest this is a form of mental disease which challenges normal face-to-face social interaction.

    It does tend to become an addiction.

    I'm not using the 3-month mobile phone anymore. It's more lazy in my head;)

    Sad to see, it's seems like a worldwide epidemic has taken hold.

    In spite of what I wrote yesterday, I find I'm more annoyed by their listening to the soundtrack of their lives every moment. Talk about isolation!

    Interesting facts.
    I would never leave home without my phone - the house alarm is set with it and turned off with it :)

    Don't rub it in. I go for my own phone far too often.
