Personally, I am quite attached
to my iPhone (at least when I am in the USA) and use it frequently to
communicate about my nonprofit corporation, Realizations Inc. It does not take
the place of interpersonal real-time social interactions and other life
activities, however, and I am careful to balance the two. For example, I turn
off my iPhone when I am having lunch with a friend—callers can leave a message. I do my daily
morning walk unaccompanied by my iPhone so that I can devote my whole attention
to nature around me and to creative brainstorming. I let the phone go to
voicemail when I am creating a new article or a new seminar presentation.
Developing nomophobia is not one of my goals.
