Nomophobia - the fear of having our phones taken from us - is
taking over our lives. The smart devices are in our homes, carried
room-to-room as if glued to the hands of our family members. They
meander into the bathroom, the laundry room, the shop, the garage,
backyard and even into the bedroom where the adults once had their
"alone time." Our teenage children require them to either be under
their pillows, by their pillows or within arm's reach at a
nightstand in order to even sleep at night. The cell phone must be
visible for them to take tests at school without withdrawal
anxiety. The phones travel where we do - school, the office, the
gym, so that we are in constant contact with the virtual world -
other people who also have no real lives outside of their phone.
They are ringing in churches, movie theaters, restaurants,
concerts, funerals. Nothing says "goodbye" to the recently departed
like your ring tone from Metallica's Hardwired. Welcome to the
world of smart phone addiction.
After centuries of mystery, the mythical Magical Unicorn Society has published its official handbook.

Discover the myth of the Gold and Silver Unicorns, and the legendary stories of the seven unicorn families. Find out about their unique powers, where they live around the world, what unicorns eat and how to have the best chance of spotting one.
