THE 17TH WORLD DAYS WITHOUT MOBILE PHONE & SMARTPHONE: 6, 7, 8 February 2017
Sorry for this rough translation of our press release in English.
"The
Smartphone: dominating our lives? "6, 7, 8 February 2017
The 17th campaign of the World Days without Mobile Phone &
Smartphone on February 6, 7, 8, 2017 has as theme: compulsory addiction!
Can we live without a mobile phone in 2017? This is an issue
that will become obsolete in the near future for several reasons:
- Administrative procedures will be done more and more via the Smartphone.
- 80 billion connected objects will control our comings and goings in 2020 with
our own Smartphone.
- Social networks have become a second breath of our everyday life.
- Industries, service providers, healthcare will focus more and more around the
Smartphone.
In 2017, are we already in an irremediable process where the Smartphone
dominates our lives?
Addiction to the Smartphone will increase in users who are increasingly
victims of Big Data.
In 2013, Phil Marso proposed the term "Adikphonia" to replace Nomophobia.
On the occasion of the 17th edition, the author releases a new book "Adikphonia"
which will give tracks to overcome addiction and protect his privacy.
It should be noted that Phil Marso never proposed cutting his Smartphone during
these three days of February 6, 7, 8.
This annual meeting is a pretext for a debate on this communication tool.
40 questions related to this appointment are offered to teachers who wish to
share this debate with their students:

Phil Marso, a polar writer, has been the instigator of these World Days
without a mobile phone since 2001. Every year he launches this citizen call and
invites reflection in schools in particular.
We invite the media to take advantage of these three days to launch this debate
of reflection: the addiction of the Smartphone and the Big Data invading.
