A friend from a different university has students goes 24 hours without technology (or ... with limited technology) - no phone, no email, no computer, no microwave, no television, no mp3 players, no technology!!! I don't think we can totally avoid technology - if we drive our cars, they have computer control modules; street lights have some computer controls / timers.
For me, yes, I'm an addict to technology, but not to my phone. I check my email the last thing in the evening, and the first thing in the morning.
According to a study by SecurEnvoy, a company that deals in mobile phone technology, the fear of being apart from your cellphone is on the rise.So .. how about you? Are you addicted to your cell phone? How about to your tablet, e-mail, laptop, etc.
It's called Nomophobia, as in "No mobile phone phobia," and 66 percent of the people surveyed said they have it. That number is up from a similar study four years ago, where 53 percent admitted to fear of losing their cell phones
