At least, this is the opinion of a few medical professionals in good old Great Britain
Sweaty palms, shakes and tremors, a slight feeling of dread and a sense of being disconnected. These are all symptoms that folks who are used to access to the internet and information have felt, sometimes brought on by something as ridiculous as leaving one’s cellular phone at home by mistake.
Now health care professionals in the UK have done a study that appears to bear this out.
It may be an actual medical condition. The term that they have coined to describe this is discomgoogolation, and it specifies the addictive need for information at short notice.
