New phenomenon: biological BlackBerry instead of biological clock by Nina Gotzmannova

Some people have biological clock; they wake up in certain times or can exactly say what time it is. Nowadays, some people who have close relationship with they electronic devices, have a "biological BlackBerry" instead. They feel the vibrations of incoming call, message or e-mail or can predict when someone would try to reach them. It often happens to the people who are used to wear their cell phones on their belts or in their pockets. These technology addicts are reporting, they are feeling vibrations like from a cell phone even when there is no cell phone attached to their bodies, such as in shower or in their pajamas. They try to grab the vibrating tool realizing, there is nothing that can possibly produce the vibrations. Only their body. There is still no research about this phenomenon, since the spread of mobile technology and these devices is only in the last few years. Anyway, some theories called this phenomenon "ringxiety" or "fauxcellarm". It is compared to the phantom limb, when people without an arm or leg still feel pain in the missing limb. These fake vibrations often happen to people from technology circles, which are connected to their devices 24/7. But they don't take it as a bothering or chronic problem, they are proud about it. Mostly they are the group of people who first noticed this phenomenon and let the world know about it. And their comments about what's going on are sometimes funny. One of them says, if there is not a tumor growing in his leg, everything is fine, another swears his phone began to dial numbers automatically when he put it into his chest pocket instead of trousers pocket. But all this only reminds us, that the world of mobile technologies is more mysterious than we think.
