The F.O.M.O. – Fear Of Missing Out​​ – is a concept more precisely a syndrome born from digital.

The FOMO, is the anguish of missing something, missing the place to be, the fear to make the wrong choice, the stress of missing an opportunity. So, the FOMO, it is ultimately the disease of hyper-connected digital man. On his smartphone, subject to all the suggestions of his hundreds of friends on facebook, it’s too much for him. He can no longer choose between what he will do tonight, with whom, what he will watch on TV, if it is necessary to download music, the camera that he have to buy and where to buy it, the restaurant not to miss.

We can smile, but behind this syndrome is hiding a truth: we have to create benchmarks, integrate the issues that people faced and will in any case, reestablish the conditions for trust to relieve the doubt and the anguish of choice.

And you, do you suffer from FOMO?
