fear of being without a phone
Nomophobia — the fear of being without a smart phone — is a recognisable psychological affliction.
In his book from 1930, Civilization and its Discontents (Das Unbehagen in der Kultur), Sigmund Freud says that “Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic God.” He notes that: we’re so preoccupied with the problems that technology “solves” that we ignore the new problems that it creates.
Dr. Don Norman shows how this preoccupation has driven us to turn “the positive trait of curiosity into two negative ones:” distraction & addiction.
