There is also the "fomo" expression fear of missing out, or, in Spanish, "fear of missing what's going on." In this case, to miss what happens in the universe of social networks.
This concept has gained popularity in recent years, according to studies by the pioneer in this area Andrew Przybylski, a researcher at the Oxford Internet Institute.
According to the results of their investigations, "fomo" is described as "the feeling of discomfort felt to be aware that other people are doing enjoyable activities and one is not part of it."
This list of events because of technology, is also depression by social networks, which can occur because the contacts of a person not interact or respond to publications that this makes. For example, if you upload a photo and do not get many likes it illustrates the psychologist Yadira Bernal.
