Dear helpful Hannah,
I've got a problem with my husband, Sam. He bought a smart phone a couple of months ago and he took it on our recent ski vacation to Colorado, it was a great trip except for one problem. He has a constant urge1for next messages; he checks his phone every five minutes! He's so addicted to it that he just can't stand the idea2there may be an important text. He can't help checking even at inappropriate times like when we are eating in a restaurant and I am talking to him! He behaves3any small amount of boredom can make him feel the need to check his phone even when he know he shouldn't. The temptation to see4is connecting him is just too great. When I ask him to put down the phone and stop5(ignore) me, he say, "In a minute." but still checks to see if6has posted something new on the Internet. Our life7(interrupted). If we go somewhere and I ask him to have the phone at home, he suffers from withdrawal symptom. May this dependency on his smart phone has become more than an everyday problem.
I recently read an article about "nomophobia,"8is a real illness people can't suffer from the fear of being without your phone! I am worried that Sam maybe suffering from this illness because he feels anxious if he doesn't have his phone with him, even for a short time.
Who would have thought that little devices like these could have brought so much trouble!
