mobile phones do not widen a person's social connectivity, but instead drive more frequent and intensive relations with existing contacts - colleagues, family and friends.

There is a distinct emotional attachment to the information contained on and delivered via their mobile phone. Mobile phones are increasingly becoming the only place people store their social and family phone numbers and diary dates. Consequently, the potential loss can cause anguish to owners. Indeed most of the people surveyed used emotional language categories to explain their mobile usage: these categories include panic, need, desire, anxiety, etc.
