Nomophobia

Here's your word of the day - Nomophobia - first coined by British researchers during 2008 it denotes people who experienced anxiety when they had no access to mobile technology—yep, their cell phones. A recent study shows out of 1000 people - 66 percent worry about losing their phones. People between the ages of 18 and 24 were most dependent on mobile technology. Seventy-seven percent were uncomfortable away from their phones for more than a few minutes. Those 25 to 34 were only a bit behind, with 68 percent expressing similar feelings.
