Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2013, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Excessive use of mobile telephony and Internet has become a public health problem in many developed countries. In solving this problem have been strongly involved psychologists and psychiatrists. Worldwide, the research on all new IT&C dependencies are numerous and often have surprising conclusions, highlighting the psychopathological aspects of the so-called "unhealthy consumption" of SMS and Internet (social networks, online games, etc.). In Romania, however, despite the strong intrusion of mobile telephony and the Internet, such issues have been too little reviewed by the researchers. To provide a starting point for future Romanian studies in the field, this article aims to explore meta analytical the recent scientific information dedicated to the consumption problem of mobile communication.
