nagmisa? There are people who cannot leave their mobile
phones for even one hour. They fear that they will miss out something if they
won’t check what is happening around them. They fear that they will miss out
something “important”.
British
psychologists elaborated and defined FoMO (fear of missing out) as “pervasive
apprehension that others might be having rewarding experiences from which one
is absent”, FoMO is characterized by the desire to stay continually connected
with what others are doing.
There
are people we know that even during meals are tinkering and scrolling on the
social media sites. Cell phone use during meals is just as bad as eating while
watching television. This is especially true if the mealtime in question is
centered around family, friends, and treasured occasions.
Amuno
(2022) reported: While phones interfere with the eating experience itself, they
actually deny us the opportunity to enjoy the food we are eating. In any case,
we spend more time swiping away than touching the food. When the brain is
hypnotized by the smartphone screen, it under-utilizes sensory elements such as
sight, smell, touch, taste, and sound, which are all closely linked to eating.
Checking
and scrolling through social media has become an increasingly popular activity
over the last decade. Although the majority of peoples’ use of social media is
non-problematic, there is a small percentage of users that become addicted to
social networking sites and engage in excessive or compulsive use.
That
is the phenomena during the early 80’s when people tell you that you are
zapped-out. You are physically present but you are somewhere else.
These
facts are telling us that manners, the wise use of technology, the strong sense
of self-knowledge, the importance of face-to-face communication, the application
of our education, discipline and the wise utilization of our time are what
matter most.
We
will USE technology. We MUST NOT let technology USE us.
