Nomophobia is a term we came across when preparing our next story. It's a mash up no-mobile-phobia. The fear of not having your smartphone or being connected with others through it.
Though the devices are a relatively recent invention, an increasing number of people seemed to have developed a psychological dependence on them and that's getting researchers' attention.
It's been 10 years since the iPhone debut and it's hard to imagine a world without the smartphone. We use our smartphones to work, entertain, organize, do hundreds of daily tasks, even find love. We might jokingly say I'm addicted to my smartphone. But more and more, researchers are starting to agree.
So, think back to life without a smartphone.
Was there life without a smartphone?
There's no widely adopted diagnosis of smartphone addiction, but for doctors like Hilarie Cash, not having an official diagnosis don't mean it isn't real.
I'm still amazed at how many people do dismiss it as a silly idea — even plenty of people in my own field.
For those who specialized in technology addictions, what goes on inside your head looked similarly to what goes on inside your head when you're dealing with other addictions.
The regions of the brain that light up when engaged in to your smartphone, those are the same regions of the brain that are engaged when you're using those drugs and alcohol.
