I found this very intresting while reading some blogs that Researchers have named the fear of being out of mobile phone contact called as ‘Nomophobia’.

No one want to loose loved ones and it’s a highly common fear that most of us possess. Everyone keeping in touch with friends or family using mobile devices and its something no one can forgot to keep anywhere and always carry.  Weather in job or personal we never swtich off our phones normally.

Stewart Fox-Mills, the head of telephony at the Post Office, UK commissioned the survey, noted that nomophobia affects many people. However, men (52 percent) are more likely to be mobile phone phobic as compared to women (48 percent).
Out of the 2,163 people who were questioned, more than 20 percent agreed that they never switched off their handsets, whereas 10 percent admitted that due to their job profile, they needed to be contactable all the time. While, over 55 percent people of the volunteers use their phone to be in contact with friends and family, 9 percent agreed that switching off the phone made them anxious.

I have to be honest and yes i am nomophobic 😉

Are you in the category of nomophobia?  😀
