Kelly can’t stand being away from her phone. She eats with it by her side, sleeps with it, she even takes it to the bathroom with her. Her friends make fun of her and joke that if something ever happened to her phone she would die. Deep down inside, Kelly’s not laughing. She knows she would have a panic attack if something happened to her phone, even if she misplaced it. Even when her phone’s not in her pocket she feels “phantom vibrations”.
Kelly knows she has an unhealthy attachment to her electronic device. She just can’t seem to ever want to be away from it. With her phone she is instantly connected and never bored, but how far is too far?
