Smartphone 'addiction': Young people 'panicky' when denied mobiles

[Aquaria]

13. I may not be on it the entire time I take it with me

But it's only a senior moment that has me not bring my smartphone with me. Then again, I need it with me, between an elderly parent, a husband who works oddball hours in the middle of the night, and my own medical issues.

Consider yourself lucky that you don't have serious health issues that require you to keep a phone with you so EMTs can contact your spouse when they find you passed out on a sidewalk. And notice I didn't say "if," but "when." Because I did pass out once on a public street, and my husband was at the hospital almost as soon as I was checked in, thanks to the EMTs finding my phone and calling him. The husband would have F-R-E-A-K-E-D if he had come home and found my car there, but me nowhere to be found, no note, nothing.
