There’s something oddly paradoxical about being so reliant on our mobile phones whilst still taking them for granted. Research in 2016 found that 90% of undergraduates suffered from phantom vibration syndrome; we’re reflexively responding to phones that aren’t even ringing, presuming connectivity without a second thought.
