You may be suffering from a smartphone anxiety disorder. A Nokia survey showed that every mobile phone user in the world viewed 150 times a day on average. In other words, everyone has to check their cell phone every 6.5 times, apart from the rest time. The typical symptom of a smartphone anxiety disorder is the reluctance to turn off the phone, always wanting to see if there are no incoming calls or new information, often charging the battery and taking the mobile to the bathroom. People who are obsessed with the depth of their mobile phones may even be texting in their sleep without knowing. In addition, 70% of mobile phone users suffer from the vibration auditory syndrome, and sometimes feel the phone is shaking. Psychologists say this is the result of anticipation of anxiety. Melisa Fils (Melissa Fares), an American journalist for science and technology, analyzes the phenomenon, and the following is the full text of the article: When I saw a woman on the plane apparently in a state of anxiety, I was selfish in getting a solace in her uneasiness. I know I'm not the only one who's afraid of flying. Not only you, but I said to her with half a smile, flying also makes me feel anxious. Her answer was completely unexpected: Oh, no, I'm not afraid to fly, I hate to lose contact with the family and friends below. The women in the two rows of the front chimed in. I know! Thankfully, there's free wifi in the machine. I turned my head to the window and stared at the bottom. The next 20 minutes of turbulence almost made me lose my appetite for lunch. Worse, weather conditions make it more difficult for passengers on the flight to connect to the network. We apologize for the inconvenience, the steward said in a skillful tone. Passengers on board knew that a Malaysian airliner had been lost and all passengers were believed to have been buried in the Indian Ocean. The ladies around me cling to their iphone. Modern society has given us a fear: smartphone anxiety, which is as strong as fear of heights or fear of flying. We have come to rely on technology to get emotional sustenance. I interviewed people who used my smartphone like my little blanket, and I feel anxious without it. These are signs of psychological dependence. "The biggest difference: protecting children from childhood and family relationships in the digital age," said Catherine Steiner-Adele, Catherine Steiner-adair, says that if you don't need a cell phone when you're away from home, you have to keep your phone with you when you take a bath, or you'll feel anxious and irritable, Maybe you already have a psychological dependency on your phone. Interestingly, one of the few pleasures of flight that I enjoy is freedom, the freedom of mind and body to distance itself from the world; you do not have to refresh your mailbox 10 times per minute or view the freedom of new Facebook news notices; Don't call to enjoy the freedom of life; above all, you can really enjoy your life. In many ways, as a citizen of the world, I can understand the woman next to me as a generation obsessed with the media and enjoying advanced technology. cannot be associated withIt's a terrible thing for a loved one to keep communicating. She naturally worries about their situation. The inability to control the situation is a fact that many people find difficult to accept. In addition, smartphones are both entertaining and practical, and they have improved our lives in many ways. Without them, we might lose our way, and of course I'm not just talking about Google (Weibo) maps. Ubiquitous smartphones have become an essential human configuration. The ability to communicate freely with friends and family members of the world is unbelievable. More impressively, smartphones have evolved into emotional gadgets. It facilitates emotional venting, bringing the world to everyone's doorstep and fingertips. Every time you step into a flight, walk into a restaurant, a classroom, or a party, you have a choice. You may be able to completely turn off your phone, which makes you feel more relaxed; You can also set the phone to mute or not disturb--so that the chances of distraction are smaller; You can also put the phone aside, ignoring it and so on. But you may not. We can control most of the things in our environment. The funny thing is that tiny smartphones change everything--we tend to put our phones on the table, or between our legs, and even under our napkins, when we eat. Once the phone was on, we immediately shifted our attention and lost consciousness of what was going on at the moment. Even if we just watch a little phone, we think it's more important than anything. In the evening, only when we browse the photos on the Instagram can we remember the good times. Mobile phones are the masters of our time. Kathleen McCartney, president of Smith College, said: "More and more people are using smartphones, even in face-to-face social events." Attend a party and send a message to someone who is not present. You enjoy a concert and then upload Live Photos on Facebook. Only when someone else likes our news, we get a little bit of praise, and we feel connected to someone else. "One of the reasons I think that smartphones are addictive is that we habitually enjoy it," she continued. We keep getting new information through emails, Facebook, Twitter, and it's also prompting us to keep looking at our phones. Everyone is wondering if there is an ominous implication to this technological change. Of course, we cannot deny its necessity. Common sense tells us to cling to the benefits of the original way of life and to protect things that are not resistant to change in technology and opportunity. In the face of the technology that dominates the world, we have to identify which ones can easily control our feelings. When the plane wheels touch the New York runway, the woman next to her breath, then open the phone. I looked around and found that the people on the plane were doing the same thing. The short message voice and voice mail notification clearly shows that we are back to reality. Hi, Honey, it's me. A moment of silence. Oh, nothing, she giggled, I just wanted to say hello. (Ice dust)
