Since I'm not addicted to technology, I don't feel it in relation to my teaching practice,

I do feel F,O.M.O when I miss a party or a trip for example. I've been like this since I was very young, I've wished I could be in two places at the same time many times. It really is a feeling that leads to anxiety.

That´s part of my life:). We just have to do the best we can and focus on what is more iseful to us!!!

Technology can be fun or dangerous! take care of your attitudes before using the amazing tools!

We need technology,

but isn't necessary to follow every

new web....

I never see this, so I am trying... Its the first time that

# data[].attributes.body
I try to use technology in my lessons wherever possible, but I don´t bother using more conventional methods

I guess if you are not really into technology,FOMO is not going to affect your life. As for some teachers, maybe the fact that there is some new interesting trend related to teaching methods -that they aren't aware of-can disturb them a bit.

Technology everywhere, news in your hands and the game starts...what is happening ? Have you seen the news about....? So, if you are not updated with things that are happening you are missed out, this is crazy , but we certainly can see people doing this, becoming wired up everytime ! and freaking. So I think this is a matter of focus on your interests and the awareness that we are not machines to follow everything,everytime.

Fear or Missing Out: Are you a Slave to FOMO?

Women`s Health

Today, I promise myself, will be FOMO-free. No worrying about what others are doing. No stressing about what else I could be doing. No second-guessing the invites I've declined. Me. Today. FOMO-free.

As long as you are addicted to technology,F.O.M.O

is inevitable!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is not exactly a kind of disease itself, but only one of the many ways that can, little by little, lead us to some critical levels of anxiety or depression over time.

# data[].attributes.body
It can be avoided if we are able to control our anxieties to take part of everything.

Feel fine with what you already know and do.

Select new things to do according to your personal limit, not based on other people's life.

here's some more food for thought on the topic!

The fear of missing out (or FOMO, in the acronymic argot of the age) has been recognised as a genuine psychological disorder brought on by the advance of technology, and the amount of choice available to individuals these days. I call it "centre court syndrome".

It's as if you've got the best tickets at Wimbledon, you're watching Andy Murray play Roger Federer, and you hear a thunderous burst of applause from Court 13: you're immediately paralysed with anxiety, unable to enjoy what's in front of you because you feel something better, more exciting, more important is happening elsewhere. In the world of Facebook and Twitter, this equates to seeing someone post pictures from a party you weren't at, or share holiday snaps from a glamorous location, or to eavesdropping on an exchange of tweets about a film that has passed you by, or a trend of which you are simply not aware.

The envy of others, and the desire to be ahead of the game, is nothing new. It used to be called keeping up with the Joneses. But now it's much harder to keep up, because the Jones family is posting, or sharing, or tweeting in that self-aggrandising way of theirs, calculated to make you feel inferior or insecure. You could, of course, unplug yourself from your mobile, but that would be like withdrawing from real life: it would be as if your very being couldn't find a signal.

The need for constant communication, coupled with the thirst for non-stop stimulation, was highlighted yesterday by Twitter's traffic statistics which revealed that 60 per cent of British Twitter followers use the medium to share with the nation their views on what's happening on the box. In other words, they're keeping one eye on Lord Grantham, while trying to compose an aperçu worthy of wider circulation. Clearly, this gives people the sense of taking part in a national conversation, but it does make you wonder how much attention they are paying to the programme that's the subject of their critique.

Also, isn't there a danger that, if this trend continues, we will lose the ability altogether of existing in the present, to take pleasure in the here and now? We'll always be on that metaphorical Court 13.

Talking of Downton Abbey, the Twitter stats do reveal some interesting patterns about Britain's favourite period soap: most of the traffic is during the programme itself, rather than - as is the case with Homeland, for instance - during the commercial breaks or at its conclusion. Perhaps " Downton " is the first show targeted, albeit unwittingly, at the Twitter generation: because there's very little in the way of action, and plenty to comment upon - Lady Mary's frocks, Mrs Patmore's pies and whether Matthew was sacrificed so that Dan Stevens can go to Hollywood - it makes for the perfect Sunday evening watch-and-tweet experience.

No need to feel you're missing out, as everyone's plugged into the same channel. And, as it's Monday morning, one last thought on Twitter, which comes from Jamie Theakston. "Being popular on Twitter is like being on the cool table in the cafeteria of a lunatic asylum". With that, I welcome you to the working week.

I really don't know anything about this social disorder. I guess it is just another way to name

the fear of been alone. Or one can go straight and call it "vagrancy". Get a work dude!

The acronym FOMO - "Fear of Missing Out" - is a social disorder (I don't know if it is already official),

and it is that moment when you feel out of place because your friends are doing good and funny

things that you don't, for whatever reason. This disorder is increased by the power of social networks,

such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, when your friends are showing that good and funny

things by posting photos, or comments about what happened. Did you ever feel like a wallflower? If you

have, you've already caught the FOMO disorder once. =(
