The influence nomophobia has over teenagers could affect Singapore social structure and cause negative repercussions that involve their families, social circles and even the entire society. Many teenagers prefers to communicate with other people via phones and avoid face-to-face interactions. This reduces their connectivity with the rest of the society and cause unnecessary friction within families. Furthermore, constant usage of mobile phones is one of the top distractions that actually decreases work/study efficiency (MACRAE, 2011). As a result, school results might be affected and effectiveness of learning might potentially drop.
