" Global Digital Epidemic"
                   An evidence based Review
Cell phone addiction known as "nomophobia" (dread of being without a cell phone), is frequently energized by an Internet abuse issue or Internet compulsion issue. The most unnerving part about cell phone compulsion is that it can influence our physical and emotional well-being, our connections and our efficiency.
That is on the grounds that, just like medication or betting addictions, cell phones give an exit from the real world. While a cell phone, tablet, or PC can be an enormously gainful instrument, enthusiastic utilization of these gadgets can meddle with work, school, and connections. At the point when you invest more energy in web-based life or messing around than you do associate with genuine individuals, or you can't prevent yourself from over and over checking writings, messages, or applications—in any event, when it has negative results throughout your life—it might be a great opportunity to reconsider your innovation use. 

A significant indication of mobile phone addiction is checking cell phone for calls or messages when it  didn't vibrate or ring. Many of us are going through this problem😂. All my classfellows who are quarantined in their homes with their cell phones these days are perfect victims of this disease.
