Term used since 2007, referring to the act of ignoring the world that surrounds it by concentrating on the technology of a smart mobile phone, tablet, PC or any electronic device such as games. In Australia this term was formed by joining the words phone in its translation Spanish phone and snubbing, despise in Spanish. As technology advances, people become less involved with the human being at their side, making any mobile device more important than the presences of other people, this becomes the most important act in some cases the family environment everyday.
The social gatherings or friends where two or more friends, you will also find one or more persons sharing attention with mobile or tablet, the act is to be aware of social networks, check e, chat, upload photos, playing games, doing searches on the web among others, an activity that cools relationships, separates groups, makes the best known to become more unknown, turning beings into a kind of new generation of zombies.
People settle in their own world created by cell phones of a new generation and the more advanced the device, the greater the capacity and ease of the applications and the greater the possibility of capturing people's attention, they perceive a fear deep if the cell phone is forgotten or the battery runs out, something that has also become the basic charger. The consequences of this trend is that they are forgetting their feelings and living the vital experiences of life itself, and the worst of living their own lives, making it a habit to have a cell phone in their hands rather than the hands of the loved one.
This trend is already an addictive disease, measures are already being taken to be treated as addicts, treating the person on an emotional level, and they feel the relief of being in control of something so small but that holds a world of possibilities in their hands. Some guidelines to follow is to leave the cell phone for short periods of time, until it is not present, turn off the cell phone when arriving home for the enjoyment of the family, especially at meals, follow the rules at the bottom of the barrel to give a good example and implant good habits in children; the basic and simple rules of a good speaker and those of a good listener are a good start for some therapies.
