Communication is an integral part of the human experience. It is what put us at the top of the food chain as a species.
Another part of being human? Obsession.
When you combine the two, well, you get Nomophobia. Which may be the downfall of humanity.
What is Nomophobia? It’s something most of us have experienced at least a little at one time or another.
We’ve all been there. You’re running a quick errand, or stepping outside to grab the mail, when you realize you forgot your cellphone (aka- your right hand).
According to a recent study, nearly 53 percent of us suffer from this nearly debilitating phobia.
Some of us have taken our love of technology a little too far, and instead of improving our lives, our cellphones have become our lives.
Of course, there’s still hope. We can change. It’s not like we’re sleeping with our phones under our pillows, or bringing them into the bathroom…or are we?
Well, I guess there’s hope for some of us.
