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.

SecurEnvoy, a corporation that work in technology development held a research about this phenomenon. About 66% phone user around the world are stricken by Nomophobia syndrom. This number are get larger year by year. In 2011, Nomophobia only happen to approximately  53%  phone user around the world. This research also found that, phone user checked their phone 34 times a day. 
 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!
