The article
of the BBC written by Tom Strafford talks about if it’s a hallucination when we
think that our mobile phone is ringing.
The eighty per cent of the people have imagined
a phone vibrating I our pockets when it’s actually completely still. Firstly was
thought to be madness caused by digital culture but then the scientists who had investigate about this
say that it’s a psychological problem. They call it Signal Detection Theory. They had arrived to this conclusion because
the people are obsessed in the new technologies; we need to be connected all
the time. As a result of this people imagine that someone is phoning them but
the phone isn’t doing anything.
With this
article I had realized that we are so introduced in the new technologies that
our brain is starting to think things that are happening but in the reality they
are not coming about. Everything is imagined by our brain. We have arrived in the situation that we
cannot be less than an hour without looking the mobile phone. Is it really
healthy for us?
