NOMOPHOBIA A/W 2020

NOMOPHOBIA is inspired by current social phenomenon between younger generations. It is a medical term created in recent years to describe people who are addicted to their mobile phones. Symptoms include: feelings of panic or desperation when separated from your mobile phone. Constantly checking phone for notifications, or even worse, having auditory hallucinations of a ringing phone.

Text-walking and text-driving are big safety issues that the society should be aware of. According to Readers Digest, there are around 11,000 injuries caused by text-walking, and you are 23 times more likely to get in an accident if you text and drive.

I assume that it is still impossible to stop people from text-walking, therefore let’s do it in a safe and fashionable way.
