Nomophobia

It's one thing to be constantly on our mobile phones and smart phones, but to actually feel uneasy and like a part of you is missing when not around one of these devices?  That's new to me.

I sometimes forget my phone at home or office when stepping out, but I'm not going start flipping out just because I left it behind.  I also am not going to deliberately walk back just to get it, unless if I'm only half a block away.

These people most likely to show symptoms of nomophobia are the same people who must text  while driving.  They are so glued to their phones that they don't see anything wrong with using it while operating something that can cause serious/fatal injuries if one is not careful.

I wonder in the near future if there will be mobile phone withdraw support groups or some sort of drug that will suppress whatever someone discovers in our bodies that claims to cause our phone addiction.
