Fear of being Phoneless

 

 

 

This past week has been one to remember as it was the first time I put my hand on Samsung Galaxy Nexus and this evening after two months with iPhone 4S I can confirm that am one of those who fear to be phone less.In fact,same week saw someone ask me if I'd panic were I to be without one of my smart phones.In an Australian survey released late last year,two thirds of 3,000 people polled said they feared being phoneless and am one of them.

How Samsung Galaxy Nexus back and is Google's new flagship smartphone was first to run Ice Cream Sandwich.

In Australia,those aged 18-24 suffered the most 92 followed by my agemates 25-34 at 88%. Our Australian women were 10 per cent more likely to be nomophobic than men according to statistics in my possession.In my opinion,I guess that this may be due to the fact men often carry a second cellphone like has been my case where even owning over five different smart phones has become a norm.The research shows that signs of nomophobia are broad and very surprising like nausea,sweating profusely and even trembling especially when the mobile phone is out of reach.Has this happened to you or someone close to you?

Another interesting observation from the study is that if you obsessively check the phone and worry about whether it is in a safe place, you may also have a problem which is common among many phones users globally.Recently,chiropractors claimed too much time spent bent over mobile devices does cause a rise in a range of symptoms such as neck strain and headaches. The pain in the shoulders, arms and hands are a syndrome well coined technologically as "text neck."This means if you're a dedicated texter, you should be sure to take frequent breaks and stretch your head, neck, and back.The study suggests that users who suffer from nomophobia should seek phobia treatments like trying to go without their mobile for a time, avoiding negative thoughts, and trying breathing techniques or the popular yoga. In my case,I fear a sense of disconnection more than anything when not having any of my smartphones and tablets.I think it may be time to seek professional assistance.

How it looks before opening it and will soon be reviewing.
