By calling
the urge to always wear your iPhone an obsession, Rosen just points out an
important human behavior. As a human being it’s crucial to have control over your
life. We search for things that give us a sense of security. By wearing an
iPhone or smartphone you can get this sense of security since this technical
advice contains a part of you. Pictures, private messages and important
appointments make the iPhone your “friend” that you can’t be separated with.
This behavior
doesn’t stand out through the ages. When the regular cellphone appeared at the
market, wouldn’t people always wear them then and wouldn’t people use
electricity when it was invented. Both these things simplified our lives and
gave us a satisfaction similar to what iPhones gives some people today. The
differences stand in availability and advertisement. Today everything is available
all the time and you can get it anywhere.
If Rosen
call the use of iPhone an obsession, then aren’t we always searching for things
to be obsessed with?
