Nomophobia---- What is it?

People have phobias of many kinds. Some have phobia of heights, some of water, some of speaking in front of an audience and the list can go on and on.

But in today's time when our  lives have become so dependent on mobile phones that we can not imagine even spending a minute without them. There has emerged a new kind of phobia called:


                                            "Nomophobia"

‘Nomophobia’ is the short form of ‘no mobile phone phobia’. A ‘nomophobe’ spends sleepless nights worrying about the following things: that the phone battery will die soon, that he will somehow lose his cell phone, that any moment now, he will be out of cell phone range, etc. The term ‘nomophobia’ was coined in the UK.
