Nomophobia is a new word that's being coined

無手機恐慌症是一個新興的詞彙，

指的是沒有手機而造成的恐慌症

experience something like a phobia and this is supposed to

describe hundreds of millions of people today

主要用來描述成千上萬的現代人

and I'm sure that number is growing at the moment.

我很確定有這狀況的人數正在攀升

What that means is that when you think about,

for example, your phone falling out of your pocket,

tumbling to the ground and shattering into a million pieces,

在地上滾了好幾圈，然後碎了滿地

and it's especially true among young people.

這個情況在現代的年輕人中很真實地發生著

I ran a study at one point where I asked young people,

我曾做了一個實驗，我訪問了很多年輕人

a whole lot of teenagers, a very simple question.

我問了很多青少年一個簡單的問題

"Imagine you have this very unpleasant choice.

「請想像你現在有一個很兩難的選擇，

So, you can either watch your phone tumble to the ground

or you can have a small bone in your hand broken."

還是讓你的手有一個小小的骨折。」

Now, that seems to people of a certain age and older

Of course you choose to save the integrity of your hand

你當然會選擇保護你的手完好無缺

You can always replace a phone, but for young people

因為你可以換一台新的手機。但是，對於某些年輕人

this is actually a very difficult question.

In my experience, about 40% - 50% of them will say,

在我的經驗中，大約會有 40% 至一半的人會說：

"Ultimately, I think it probably makes more sense

And, you can understand why that is, apart from the fact

不過，其實可以理解為什麼，對他們來說

that it is expensive to have a phone repaired

and there's some time where you're without your phone,

手機是他們進入社交世界的工具

Being without that social world for a while

對他們來說，離開那個社群網路一下下

is probably not as detrimental in some aspects

as being without a particular bone in your hand.

Most of the time, you can get by and you can see this

很多時候你能忍受沒有手機，但是還是會遇到

有些人問關於剛剛那個抉擇許多問題

So, a lot of these teens will say to me things like,

「骨折的是我的右手還是左手？」

Is it a bone that I need to be able to scroll on the phone,

「如果是要滑手機的那隻手指骨折，

but if it's not a bone that I need to use my screen

不過，如果不是那隻手指骨折的話，

If people are willing to endure physical harm

如果人們願意承受身體上的傷害

to keep their phones that obviously suggests

來保住他們的手機，這很明顯的

The definition that I like for behavioral addiction

that makes the most sense to me is an experience

that we return to compulsively over and over again

because it feels good in a short run but in the long run,

因為在段時間內我們感覺良好，但以長遠來看

it ultimately undermines our well-being in some respect.

這個行為最終會對我們的健康造成某個程度上的損害

So, it can be someone who notices that over time

會開始感覺他們的社交關係不太好

because they don't have a consistent, face-to-face contact

因為他們沒有持續地與人面對面接觸

with people and that's especially problematic for kids

尤其是小孩們，這個問題尤其嚴重

who need time in that real face-to-face social world

他們更需要真實世界中面對面的社交

all the competencies of being a social creature.

發展各項能力來成為社會的的一份子

The way to work out what other people are thinking,

他們需要去學習理解他人在想什麼、

for you to make just the right facial expressions at just the right times.

也能夠發展出在對的時間做出對的表情

Those seem like obvious and easy-to-do things

這些事對於許多大人們看似很簡單

for most adults but for kids it's very difficult to do that.

他們會需要時間來磨練社交技巧

and so you need face-to-face time to do that

and if you don't have that, if you're spending all your time

如果沒有這些練習，又將時間都花在

on screens because it's really fun to crush one more candy

on Candy Crush or do whatever it is that you might be doing,

在 Candy Crush 上多破一關，或是其他的事

you're not developing those long-term competencies

那你當然就無法發展這些需要長期磨練的技巧

and therefore your long-term well-being is degraded.

因此，長遠來看，可能會很不健康。
