UNITED KINGDOM—
If you've seen NewsFix before chances are you've seen at least one story about the risks of using cell phones. Studies change all the time... one says you'll get cancer and another says you won't. This week, the phones are blamed for tumors, and next week all that'll change.
Now we're learning some people get sick if they don't have their phones. It's called nomophobia, the fear of being without your cellphone and it's on the rise. 66% the 1,000 people surveyed in the UK had a serious fear of losing or being without their phones. That's up 13% from a similar survey done four years ago. Some people even need medication for nomophobia....maybe a prescription for bars?
Takes away the edge, and you never have to worry about losing service.
