iPhonepathy: a degenerative pathology of human cognitive system induced by the intensive and extended use of one’s smartphone. Due to its epidemically contagious character, this disease affects most individuals, regardless of age and gender, bringing them to see their smartphones as a vital necessity at the basis of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. The compulsive use of those devices is accompanied by an irrepressible need to improve self-esteem through obsessive research of approval on the social networks. On the long run, iPhonepathy can totally subjugate individuals into complete isolation.
