You have left your phone at home and feel really anxious, as if you have lost your connection to the world. Do you recognise the feeling? “Nomophobia” (short for no-mobile phobia), a fear of being without your smartphone. Researchers warn that nomophobia is affecting everyone, teenagers and adults alike. Indeed, you can do an online test to see if you have it. Studies carried out by various researchers confirm that people experience feelings of anxiety and stress when separated from their phones. Smartphone separation can even lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. Investigation also shows that, although nomophobia is affecting everyone, people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memories suffer most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pain was often reported) and “alone” predicted higher levels of nomophobia. People don’t use their phones to talk to other people – we are talking about an Internet- connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives. We develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives. However, the emotional dependency is just a small part of this tech phobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo (short for ‘fear of missing out’) that creates the most separation anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat or Instagram, they become panic because they don’t know what’s going on socially. So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, a psychologist from Nottingham Trent University (England), says it is what is on the phone that counts – the social networking that creates Fomo and leads you to check social media again and again so you don’t feel left out. “But people adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no Internet,” states Griffiths. Deliberately separating from your phone by turning it off or leaving it at home can reduce dependency and help you to relax. Fragment adapted from The Guardian, August 2017 1.

(1.5 points) 1 5 10 15 20 Car-free cities The industrialized nations made a terrible mistake when they turned to the automobile as an instrument of improved urban mobility. The car brought with it major unanticipated consequences for urban life and has become a serious cause of environmental, social, and aesthetic problems in cities. The urban automobile endangers other street users, disturbs people with its noise, causes air pollution and worsens global warming. The challenge today is to remove cars and trucks from cities while at the same time improving mobility and reducing its total costs. But the urban automobile can only be supplanted if a better alternative is available. At present, public transport is typically a disagreeable and slow substitute for the car. It needs to become a pleasant experience and should attain the average speed of a car in light city traffic. Although it is hard to imagine a world without cars, many cities across the world are beginning to shift their mobility solution away from private cars and towards more environmentally friendly and citizen- focused means. Car-free neighbourhoods are no unrealistic utopia – they exist all over Europe. Venice is a good example. It is loved by almost everyone and is an oasis of peace despite being one of the densest urban areas on earth. We should build more car-free cities. We can also convert existing cities to the car-free model over a period of decades. In general terms, the design of cities is driven by three principal needs: high quality of life, efficient use of resources and fast transport of people and goods. The fulfilment of these needs in a car-free city gives rise to the following design standards: rapid transport, nearby stations, nearby green space and economical freight transport. Providing fast access to all parts of the city is basic. Both in consideration of time and the limited mobility of small children, the elderly and people with reduced mobility, nearby transport stops must be provided. Unluckily, the four billion inhabitants of the developing world seem eager to adopt Western patterns of car use. They should be advised of the costs and encouraged to think about better solutions. However, we cannot deny them the use of technology and resources that are used in the developed nations.
