Question

article on effect of smartphone on teenagers

Answer 1

t’s easy to envision addicts hiding in seedy alleys—not sitting at our dinner table scrolling through Twitter or Pinterest. A study from 2012 found that 66 percent of people admit to feeling panicked when they were without their phones. Scientists have endeared this addiction with the moniker “nomophobia”. It is a mash up of the words “no more phone” and phobia, which stands for people, teens included, experiencing fears or stress when they have no access to their phones.

This addiction to smartphones is often fueled by “Internet Use Disorder”. The American Psychiatric Association defines this condition as a preoccupation with the Internet and the person suffers withdrawal symptoms when it is removed. It has all the earmarks of a traditional addiction which includes requiring more and more exposure to get the same euphoric feelings and many teens use this addiction as a coping mechanism to alleviate depression.
