The word is a bit strange, but we are sure that you have even practiced the «Phubbing» until some time.Or worse, they have done it in front of you.The new technologies not only open up a whole world of possibilities in terms of communication , information and relationships, they also change our behavior habits in a way that we may not be aware of.
So much so that we are doomed to learn new terms for these new realities.Today, we invite you to discover what Phubbing is.
The art of ignoring those around us
This phenomenon is relatively recent.Just when in 2007, the use of the so-called Smartphones or smartphones was raised as indispensable in our day to day, as an extension of our capable hand to make our lives a lot easier.The phenomenon of being able to have a simple and fast way Technology so small and manageable, capable of containing almost the same possibilities as a computer, began to change our lives in a very significant way.
We are able to do many things at once: eat and read the mail , walk down the street and check the Facebook , and of course, have dinner or be in the middle of a conversation with friends or family and consult both our Twitter or our Whatsapp .In essence, we have acquired the uncomfortable habit of practicing discourtesy from time to time in front of others, but that if...maybe voluntarily or involuntarily.
The word responds to a term English formed by the words phone and snubbing , which translates into something like «belittle someone while we answer the phone».The idea has existed for some years without being labeled under this name, and there are many people who practice it almost without realizing it, giving priority to that virtual world before the immediate reality that surrounds them.
So much fame Phubbing has acquired that in the US, after naming this social phenomenon, it is laying the foundations to try to combat this uncomfortable behavior.The «attack plan», so to speak, will be carried out through virtual platforms and television ads, where to compare this fact to discourtesy, for example, who sits at a table and starts eating before the rest of the guests and ends without taking anyone into account.
The campaign is going to be called «Antiphubbing» and will be focused mainly on teenagers, the youngest population who, according to several studies, prioritize their friendships and virtual relationships before their social context more next and real.It's no longer just about correcting a menu gesture Osprecio or bad manners, we try more than anything to record a negative social behavior for the personal and emotional development of the youngest.
And you and have you ever suffered Phubbing?
