Cyberpsychology 459: Phone Addiction April 2014 | Page 2

Introduction:

Garrett George

Hello World,

Our writers are trying to get the word out to the public that this generation is much to invested with using their phones, or specifically, using technology to communicate with one another. Dr. Larry Rosen is a doctor that wrote his book called, “iDisorder” and it opens the eyes of habitual phone users to negative consequences. In the book he explores how people within our generation C (connected generation) are showing signs and symptoms of psychiatric disorders. He claims we are all exuding signs of obsessed compulsive disorder, narcissistic disorder, even depression when we are influenced by the technologies we are so dependent on. By reading this book, the doctor gives the reader several ways to reset your brain from the hold of technological influence, which can lead to a healthier psyche.

Below is an extremely insightful interview with the doctor and below that is a link to his book on amazon.
