Abstract

Nowadays, developing
technology has brought some addictions into our lives. Smart phone addiction,
which is seen with the introduction of smart phones in our lives, has become
remarkable in daily life. In the digital age we live, almost every process is
handled by smart mobile phones. This makes mobile technologies an indispensable
part of our day.

This work is designed to give information about
nomophobia, a new concept known as fear of lack of mobile telephony.

As a result of the study, the widespread use of smart
phones made it easier for individuals to make their daily lives easier but on
the other hand they caused many social and psychological problems.
