Do you
always keep your phone battery in full-charged condition? Fear to lose network coverage? Or maybe you always bring your phone to
bathroom when you are take a bath? Beware, guys. Maybe you have a “Nomophobia”
conditions.
Based on
some sources, Nomophobia or No-Mobile-Phone Phobia can be explained as a
psychological condition where you are unable to pass a day without your mobile
phone. As a teenager, we can’t deny that we need communication with our
friends. And we know that mobile phone can help us to have a connection with
people arround us. But it’s a BIG NO when you cannot live without your mobile
phone in your hand. Actually, Phone is designed to help our task. And it’s
wrong and false when phone destroyed our interpersonal ability with people that
we loved.
From one poll, teenager would be more vigilant, teen’s can send more than 60 sms a day. And the worse is, people prefer to have a communication trough mobile-phone facility than have a direct communication. This condition can make a bad culture in our society, such us individualism personal.
There are some characteristics of Nomophobia conditions :
1.
Obsessively recharging the phone battery.
2.
Constantly checking for missed messages and call.
3.
Never turning the phone off.
4.
Taking the phone to bathroom with you.
5.
Have more than 1 mobile phone.
6.
Hearing or feeling phantom rings and vibrations.
If you
got most poin, you are a Nomophobic. But don’t worry, here I give you 5 steps
to tame this technology Misuse from nccparentsplace.wordpress.com
:
1.
Turn off your phone occasionally. If it’s
hard for you, you can do it slowly but surely. In first time when you do this
step, you can turn off your phone in short periods of time. You could increse
the length gradually until you feel you are back in control.
2.
Leave your phone in home in a while. Check at
your self, are you feel uncomfortable? Always patting your pocket and search
for your phone? If it happens to you, you may want to be more intentional about
overcoming what could be nomophobic tendencies.
3.
Not answering calls or reading texts while you were in a
face-to-face conversation. No matter how you slice it, interupting a face-to-face
conversation to answer calls or reading messages is rude.
4.
Start or finish your day with something other than your
phone. You can choose a book to spend your time, ora watching a new-released
movie. But face-to-face conversation is much better.
5.
Use an alarm instead of your phone so you can keep it out
of yor bedroom.
From my
point-of-view, in our beloved Senior High School 1 Purbalingga, this phenomenon can be found
in any public places.Some student have a face-to-face conversation with their
friends but they still play with their phone. I think it’s a right time to
change that bad habit for a better social community. So turn off your phone for
a while, and start to found something new in arround you. You are grow up in a
social-community, not in your mobile phone. Cheers!
