Additional analysis of the existing data provided deeper understanding of a plethora of related dimensions that previously were thought to have a spurious relationship. Running out of battery was one of these additional indicators. Running of credit, or monthly limit would also create panic. Total loss of signal or inability to connect to Wi-Fi, would send the representatives of the sample into a deviant state of anxiety. We see this behavior when people are looking for reception when standing on furniture, benches, etc. As we can appreciate all of these different scenarios, going phone-less anxiety manifests itself in many ways. People who are said to suffer with nomophobia report being unable to turn off their phones. They worry over running out of battery power.

Technology has impacted and influenced how people function and devote their time immensely. With the creation of smartphones, computers, and social networks, people have adopted them into their lives and use them daily, which creates a dependence on these devices. An immoderate dependence upon technology is a state that humanity has come to in today’s age that permits people to believe that they essentially cannot function without it. The fear of not having one’s cellphone or being in a position where one’s cellphone cannot be used, whether it be because of a dead battery or having no signal, is known as nomophobia.

Two-forty p.m. is probably the most anticipated time of the day for students during the school year. As soon as the final bell rings, students immediately reach into their pockets, backpacks, or purses and pull out their cell phones. One day, while leaving school, I witnessed a student furiously texting as she walked down the hallway, unaware of the door opening towards her. The door then slammed into her and knocked her off her feet, all because she was paying attention to her cell phone and not to where she was going.
