Nomophobia

Story of the Day 

 I want to know who hasn't broken a phone once or twice?  I however just so happen to have broken close to ten since I was about 12 years old when I received my first cell phone, which would look somewhat closer to an even too large walkie-talkie these days.. Unfortunately yesterday added to that long list of brokenness. I hate the feeling of not being able to call someone when I need to or look up something on an App if I am curious.. When I was without a cellphone yesterday I felt very strange. Like I was missing a shoe.. or forgot a coat in the middle of winter. How funny the feeling of dependency on something that is relatively new technology. As I was writing directions to the nearest Sprint store I couldn't help but to chuckle trying to think back to the last time I wrote anything down! Everything is on a computer or phone. Where would we be without the World Wide Web? (I for one would probably have a different job seeing how mine revolves around it, haha.) A study done in the UK shows that out of 1000 people 66% of them were afraid to be without their cells phones and 41% says they have more than one. Also in the recording some of the people have what is called "Nomophobia" and they are actually scared to be out of contact with people via a mobile device. How interesting this new age technology has become! Everyday I find myself being challenged by something new and exciting.. Now my latest challenge will be to keep my phone in one piece..

Puzzle of the Day

 When asked about his  birthday a man said,
"The day before yesterday I was only 25 and next year I will turn 28."
This is true only one day in a year - when was he born?
