PANTS POCKET OR DESK? –

Feb. 15, 2023 – Fear of being without your smartphone even has a name – this is known as nomophobia – which stands for NO MObile PHone PhoBIA. martphones fuel internet addiction because they can be used anytime, any place, anywhere. Use of a smartphone allows access to social networking, playing video games online, and allows for internet surfing and scrolling the net. Also, it gives access to gambling, gaming and sexual behaviour sites.  Affects mood, and salience (being noticed – on the internet you become invisible) and can result in social withdrawal within your personal life. Sometimes, we rush to the internet when we feel down or if we feel euphoric – but either way this may not be the right way to deal with these emotions.
