It's no wonder that people are addicted to their smartphones.

For example, remember the last time you misplaced your phone?  You freaked out, didn't you?  The panic started rising inside, and your stomach started hurting a little bit because a very expensive piece of you disappeared.

If you truly lost your phone remember how lost you felt until you were able to get a replacement.  You were completely disconnected from everyone and everything, except for those you saw in person.
