8. ‘Nomophobia’
"Students respond to requests to shut off their
phones with a sense of panic, a feeling that they
will be cut off from their world of personal
relationships. This feeling, taken to its extreme, has
been dubbed "nomophobia," the fear of being
forced to shut off a phone, or the obsessive worry
of losing a phone. There is even a support Web
site for nomophobics."
(Woodill, 2011, p.150)
