The mobile phone is indispensable in the life of each of us. It has caused more and more addiction. At home, at work, on the street it is a continuous presence in our lives.
Addiction to the mobile phone has brought to the humans a new phobia. It is known as nomophobia that is manifested by an intense feeling of fear and anxiety felt when the mobile phone is forgotten at home or in the office, when the device is out of the signal area, when it is out of battery or the credit is over.
“It is hard to understand addiction unless you have experienced it.” Ken Hensley

I am not addicted by the cel phone.
I guess I’m quite addicted. No way to deny.
I’ve some social “phobia” so a phone is a great escape.
I feel safe when I carry my mobile phone because I can rely on it in case of emergency, especially when I’m alone. I don’t feel the urge of having/using it when I’m with someone.
I’m not truly addicted, but I could be, to some extent.
I take my mobile phone everywhere but it is so others can reach me. Otherwise it is another camera
I am the other way around , please cannot reach me because I leave my phone all over the place.
Human’s are often reliant on tools. We don’t have claws that rip and tear. We don’t have teeth that scare. We are fast like tigers. We can’t swim like dolphins.
So we rely on tools. The question is always is this tool bad.
I think from an information perspective the cellphone is changing the world.
From a distraction perspective, I suspect there is a growing problem.
I guess I am on the fence about this.
sorry that is correctly “we aren’t fast like tigers.”
I agree that people are reliant on tools but humans should have the ability to decide when and how to use them.
I do not have a cell phone. However if I did posses one, it would be used on a part time basis.
I am addicted to phone but i want to prevent from it.
No I am not addicted to phone, but I am trying to prevent others from being addicted to cell phone.
I don’t even own a cel phone…
Really? That’s great! I have, but I only use it to talk to my children!
if I am at home, you can call me on the landline. if I am out, I don’t want to be bothered anyway…
Great black and white photos by the way. 😀
Simon Sinek explained why people get addicted to their cellphones. I think I mentioned it in my post similar to this. 😀
Who is Simon Sinek?! Maybe I have missed your post! I’ll look for it!
Black and white are still one of the best presentations of photos.
Thank you for sharing this new term. Personally, I am not very attached to my phone.
Another powerful photo. I am not addicted to my phone, or anything else. But many are, I see it every day. Very sad and many times they are unaware of their addiction.
