We are facing a smartphone dependence

In ranking of the most connected countries in 2018 South Korea occupies a modest 16th place with 40, 1 million users, but in fact the country's population now - less than 50 million people, that is, the network is already sitting 80%. This is largely due to the extremely prolific Samsung slightly less prolific LG Electronics, as well as high-quality high-speed 4G internet.

Even in 2011, the Korean psychiatrist Sam-Wook Choi, specializing in working with addictions (gambling) discovered a new disease: dependence on smartphones.





In the US, doctors are skeptical of technological dependence. Neither Internet addiction or "Smartphone" dependence is not described in the manual of mental disorders. Unless they have a gambling addiction. Choi and colleagues said that if Internet addiction often involves online games, the dependence on smartphones - is a constant use of social networks.

Korea is probably the first was to get to this disease. As previously written, Samsung, LG and LTE have done everything possible for that. Smartphones are 80% of the population in the United States this figure - 70%. The average citizen of South Korea spends 4 hours a day staring at your smartphone. Interestingly, the online games prefer men, and pathological craving for smartphones characterized by a fine half the population of Korea.

In what appears dependence? People use smartphone differently. Longer by 22%, but the main difference in the way. These people are more likely to sit in social networks, trying to get rid of stress, depression and boredom. Most often, with six in the evening until midnight. They read, watch images and distracted by alerts from mobile messenger applications and social networks.

For the diagnosis of dependence Korean professor Heejune Ahn and Uichin Lee разработали Apps for Android and tested it on human beings. As a result, it showed efficiency of 87% - with such precision algorithm to determine the dependence of people. But to cure such applications for some reason no one could - people do not have to change their habits.

About the new ailment we have yet to learn. So far, only one thing is clear - many without smartphones just не can live . What do you suffer?
