4. The negative effects of being too addicted to digital device are for example: Body aches, insomnia, vision problems, and weight gain (no exercise) and emotional effects (depression, anxiety…)

2. -Yes, i should use less my mobile and i try to read a book before sleeping in order to avoid to take the mobile. I have also an app that monitors your usage of the mobile
3. -Yes, i think that most of the peopple should do it, when you walk around the street, for example, you can see so many people looking to the mobile in each moment. Or for example when your are awaiting in a underground or so.
4. -The principal negative effect is that you are no living your ‘real’ life, you know, being with people face to face and feel them closely, doing exercise, going to social events, or so.
5. -The worst effect in my case is that it consumes so much time that can be used for developing yourself in order to be a better person. In addition, i feel sometimes overwhelming because of the amount of information your mind process.
6. -I dont know anyone with “nomophobia”.
