When the iphone, Blackberry, and Android enabled smarthphones came out into the market place, this new generation of go-anywhere-do-anything phones caused a serious flurry. And for good reason. When you consider that you can do pretty much anything you can do on a laptop on your mobile these days – aside from type long emails, although even that isn’t too tough with a Blackberry – you can see what the fuss is all about. Suddenly, almost overnight, business people have the power to communicate in ways which were unheard of a few years ago. Through this new medium, business has got swifter, easier, and smoother…
it’s become clear that it’s almost impossible to tell those who just use their mobiles a lot from those who are actually dangerously addicted apart
…But…and there’s always a but, isn’t there?
This time that but is a BIG but. It’s called mobile phone addiction and it’s probably something which affects at least one person you know.
Because we’re all on our phones all the time, it’s become clear that it’s almost impossible to tell those who just use their mobiles a lot from those who are actually dangerously addicted apart. I mean, how can you really tell? Answer: you can’t. The line is extremely blurry at best, and at worst you could argue that no such thing really exists after all.
The next question is: what can you do about it? (Especially difficult a question when you need to use your mobile for work purposes…) You’d ask yourself if you should go and see a qualified independent financial advisor if you were in bad debt with no escape, wouldn’t you? Yes, of course you would — that’d be considered perfectly normal and you probably wouldn’t even think twice about it. But in the case of mobile phones the issue is more tricky. Tricky because they’re so new that an addiction to them doesn’t actually have any kind of support as of yet. From the looks of things, that won’t happen for a while, or at least until mobile phone addiction actually becomes recognised as a legitimate thing.
What you can do, if you have a problem, is recognise it and start trying to wean yourself off your phone. This will be easier said than done to begin with, but like anything – giving up sugar, saying goodbye to those much-loved cigarettes – it’ll get easier to deal with in time.
Just don’t make the mistake of thinking you don’t have a problem. There’s a difference between owning your mobile phone and your mobile phone owning YOU.
