“The fear of missing out (FOMO) — on something more fun, on a social date that might just happen on the spur of the moment — is so intense, even when we’ve decided to disconnect, we still connect just once more, just to make sure. Like the old-school Crackberry addict, we’re now all in the grip of “FOMO addiction” * — the fear of missing out on something or someone more interesting, exciting or better than what we’re currently doing. Connected to this fear of missing out on something better that’s going on without you are these fake personas we promote on websites like Facebook. I say “fake” because we often present only the best side of our lives on social networking sites. After all, who wants to be “friends” with someone who’s always posting depressing status updates and who seems to be doing nothing interesting in their lives? So they are indeed fake, because instead of us being completely real, many (most?) of us censor what we post to our social media profile these days. The people on Facebook are often simply their idealized selves — with a bit of misery thrown in from time to time to “keep it real.” - × × ×

I asked Professor Turkle what people could do to deal with this stress-inducing quandary. She said she would tell herself to “get a grip and separate myself from my iPhone.” - × × ×

Мне кажется, FOMO преследует с детского возраста вне зависимости от инструментов, телефонов и твиттеров. Все дети хотят на улицу в тусовку, а вдруг там чего происходит, пока они дома. Подростки особенно. Я страдаю бессознательной формой FOMO, когда летом просыпаюсь, а за окном солнце - тревога того, что пока я сплю, а там такая погода - там точно что-то происходит, в чём я не участвую. - CES & nootropics
