Cell Phone Addiction?

by K._Lynn

In addition to the other proclaimed dangerous of cell phone use,
like driving while talking, research is now being conducted into
the possible addiction of cell phones. The thoughts behind it are
that, in today�s increasingly reliant on technology society, we
are unable to allow ourselves to be disconnected from not only
technology but from everyone around us.

Who It Could Affect

Business Users

The ability now to conduct business from anywhere can be both a
blessing and a curse. It means that you have a bit of freedom
from being tied to the office, but it also can mean you are
reachable even when you are out of the office, or on vacation.

Teenagers

Teenagers seem most susceptible to addictions in general, but
the ability to be in touch with their friends at all times can be
a major drawback to a teenager having the use of a cell phone.

None of us like to believe that we could be affected by any kind
of addiction, but the fact of the matter is that addictions are
not selective about who they affect, nor are they selective about
the manner they affect us.

Learn The Signs

High Bills - People who are addicted to their cell phones often
give little thought to the cost of their incessant cell phone
usage. There are voice and data plans that allow for heavy usage;
however, with addictions seldom does logic follow. The logical
thing would be to increase voice and data plans to sufficiently
cover the high use of the cell phone; but if someone is addicted
they are most likely also in denial about their addiction. The
thought process behind the denial is usually �I don�t use my
phone enough to increase my plans that much!�

Eyes Glued To The Display - If a person is addicted to their
cell phone, then the odds are they are constantly checking their
phone for a missed call, a voicemail, or a missed text message.
This can not only be annoying, but it can take a turn for the
dangerous when the person is also driving a vehicle.

Behaviour - Anxiety like behaviour when separated from a cell
phone has been reported as a major sign that someone might be
addicted to their mobile phone. If you or someone close to you
expresses high levels of anxiety or worry when they are unable to
make a phone call or send a text message you might consider them
to be addicted.

Never Ending Use - A person who is addicted to their cell phone
will find it difficult to put it down, in a variety of different
situations. How often do you see someone talking loudly on a cell
phone while in a restaurant? Or sitting in a doctor�s waiting
room while talking on their cell phone? The worst cases reported
have been people even talking on their cell phone while using a
public restroom!

Addiction to a cell phone can affect personal relationships,
with partners and even kids believing they are not as important
as your cell phone; even work performance can be dramatically
affected by the use of a cell phone if the addicted person is
constantly checking voicemail, or sending text messages.

Treatment

As is the case with many addictions and behaviour disorders,
antidepressants and anxiety medications can often do a great job
in easing the reliance on a cell phone.

If your job requires you to have the use of a cell phone you may
find it difficult to wean yourself away from it after hours;
however, with a bit of persistence and determination you will
find that this is possible. Try to separate the usage of the cell
phone for business reasons from the rest of your life.
