The mobile, an internal representation of our life and our relationship with others.
50% of users suffer from Nomophobia.
The sociologist Alicia Aradilla Analyze this dependency and the current relationship of ourselves and our mobile
Much has been written about our relationship with the telephone in terms of the daily time we spend with it.
With special attention to whether that amount can become an addiction, with various debates about whether or not it is considered pathology.
To the fear irrational to leave home without the mobile or not take it with us, it is called Nomophobia.
Problem that contributes a degree of anxiety and excessive discomfort, and supposes a great conflict that, according to studies, they get to suffer 50% of the users to the mobile.
In relation to how we use, organize, decide and execute the possibilities offered by a mobile phone, we can infer some characteristics of our internal organization and desire how we want to relate to others.
Why "The mobile phone is a representation of our internal way of organizing life. " Affirms the sociologist Alicia Aradilla
"It is important to stop and think about how our relationship with our Smartphone is, and discover what it can say about us and our internal relationship and with others. "
The telephone has become an essential inhabitant of our lives.
Intense 24-hour coexistence, in our hands, pockets, bags, backpacks, car, public transport, even on a motorcycle, bedside table, work table, companion of solitary meals, companion of waiting moments.
"This intense coexistence is one of the reasons why information that could be relevant in our self-knowledge process becomes invisible, by day."
Some examples.
The WhatsApp.
What icons appear in the most used section? What icons do you use to apologize? What icons do you use to thank?

How many photos do you save in your phone's memory? Can the photos you receive through social networks be saved in your file? What criteria do you create the photo albums with? What albums do you often watch? What criteria do you use? Do you use to download photos on another device? "...
Our relationship with the mobile phone.
Does it provide us with work and personal freedom or, just the opposite?
It is likely that few people have questioned these or other aspects related to the use of their mobile phone.
This lack of questioning is part of the naturalization, in sociological terms, of its use.
Although answering and reflecting on these similar questions brings many keys to who we are and how we act.
Keep the phone, in our agenda, of people who you know will not be called anymore or know that the phone is outdated, but there they continue.
Two factors that speak about our level of attachment in relationships.
Doing this is a high level of attachment in addition to the ability to conclude relationships, Low level of emotional conclusion in relationships.
Customize with some of the contacts can give information about how we emotionally categorize our relationships.
Add some word when creating the contact also provides clues about the level of complicity what we feel with that person.
The Whatsapp and other applications of social relationships, are a clear example of our relationships and of ourselves, providing us with a key amount of information for our self knowledge.
"The most used emoticons are graphic representations of our messages. Which ones do you use the most? What do you use WhatsApp for instead of calling? "
These communicative applications, such as Whatsapp, they are a screen that allows us not to face situations of our day to day in its entirety.
Although it seems to us that it is a simultaneous communication, it is not.
It is consecutive and on screen. Unlike the call that is oral and simultaneous communication.
