If you had the chance to invent a new phobia, what would it be and what impact do you think it would have on people?
I would create a phobia called “Technophobia 2.0,” which would be an intense fear of digital disconnection—specifically, the anxiety of being unable to access or interact with technology for an extended period. As modern life becomes increasingly reliant on digital connectivity, this phobia could manifest in various ways. People might experience panic attacks when losing internet access, extreme discomfort during power outages, or overwhelming stress when separated from their devices.
The implications for society could be significant. Individuals might struggle with forming genuine, face-to-face connections due to an obsession with digital interactions. Workplaces could see declines in productivity and increased mental health challenges as employees grapple with the pressure to always remain online. Ultimately, it could lead to a widening divide between those who embrace a tech-free lifestyle and those who become consumed by their fear of being disconnected, creating a societal tension around the balance of technology in our lives.
