Snippet: Cellphone Vibration Syndrome ☇

I think we’ve all encountered this from time to time, and I suspect it’s probably worse for the overly caffeinated (via 512 Pixels):

It turns out that the phantom cellphone vibration syndrome is fairly common. Ask around. See if you can find someone who believed the smartphone in their pocket was vibrating but found when they checked, there was nothing new. No call. No text.

There’s a growing body of research on phantom vibrations and many of the other problems associated with technology obsession, all of which is explored by Larry Rosen, a professor of psychology at California State University, Dominguez Hills, in his new book, iDisorder.
