The Fear of Losing Your Cell Phone is Now the Most Common Fear in the World

We've heard of NOMOPHOBIA before . . . that's the feeling of anxiety you get when you're away from your cell phone.  But we didn't realize it had reached THIS point.

According to a new study by a company called SecurEnvoy from Daily Mail, losing your cell phone is now the most common fear in the world.  About 66% of people worldwide have some feeling of anxiousness when they're away from their phone.

That's up from 53% four years ago.  They didn't say what the second-most common fear is . . . but whether it's spiders, heights, snakes, being buried alive, whatever, it's not as common as nomophobia.
