It is late night and you are still scrolling down your phone keys to check the latest updates from your friends on FB. Next morning, before picking up the morning newspaper, you are frantically checking the same social networks for what you have missed out last night after going to bed. If you have a routine quiet similar to this, you may be a victim of FOMO - Fear Of Missing Out disorder, the latest buzz in the clinical circles of psychology.
