Mobile phones have become an indispensable¹ part of our everyday lives. We use them to communicate, access the Internet, take photos, listen to music, watch videos, we can even use them to pay for our purchases² or count our daily calories. Just pick and download a respective mobile application. However, a French author Phil Marso declared 6 February as the World Day without cell phones, and it has been celebrated since 2001, initially³ in countries such as Canada, Spain, France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Finland. Do your own nomophobia⁴ test: how long can you go without your smart phone? And try to train your memory at the same time – memorize the numbers of the three most important people from your list of contacts.
