You should be aware of phone addiction, but we bet you don’t know that it has already transformed into some sort of phobia. Nomophobia is the fear of being without a smartphone, or simply no-mobile-phone phobia. The term was first coined in 2008 during a study by the UK Post Office that was aimed to investigate from what anxieties mobile phone users suffer.
This phobia has spread more in the last few years. What do nomophobic people feel? Mostly, they have the feelings of losing instant communication and connectivity that they think smartphones provide them with. Also, they are afraid of not having access to information, and in general, they feel more convenience with smartphones than without.
In 2012, the survey in the UK showed that almost 66% of the British population suffer from nomophobia. Without any doubt, the numbers among the younger population are higher, and the group between 18-24 were at 77%.
In 2019, more than 66% of the world’s population has symptoms of nomophobia. The studies showed unbelievable numbers. For example, an average mobile user unlocks the screen of his phone 150 times a day. Every day, top smartphone users stay on mobile phones for four and a half hours.
It looks like nomophobia is going to be the next pandemic to affect us all, who knows?
