While the " meaning " popular is that mentions Alfredo Edgardo Alvarez Ahumada, actually looks like a joke ( 34-style; Nessiteras Rhombopteryx " ) because etymologically stripe the papelón. It is assumed that it comes from the phrase in English " NO MObile-phone PHOBIA " covering a little more than phones, since it is the fear to be disconnected from the network. The problem appears when we understand that phobias ( as pathology ) are baptized taking words from classical Greek ( as long as possible ) and the concept of " connection " It already existed at that time. The fear of being disconnected from internet, phones, cableTV and the like, would be something like Aposindeofobia, formed by 945; 960; 959; ( apo, 34, missing, lacking " ) 963; 965; 957; 948; 949; 963; 951; ( syndese, " 34 connection; ) and 966; 959; 946; 959; 962; ( fovos, " 34 fear; ).
