Have anyone seen the first episode of Black Mirror season 3? It's called "Nosedive" and you have the textbook example of a society controlled by nomophobia. Not just the physical aspect of the phone which never leaves your side, but also the reward/dopamine effect. And it's showing with great accuracy how the "dopamine" effects also corrupts our mental perception: we crave for rewards, approbation by our "peers" in order to get the more stars/likes/upvotes... However you want to call it.
