Losing Smartphone Almost as Stressful as Terrorist Threats
A recent study found that for some people, losing a smartphone could be as stressful as a terrorist attack.
The report ranked life events on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the most stressful and 1 being the least stressful. Going to prison (9.15), flood or fire damage to one's home (8.89) and the death of a spouse (9.43) topped the list of most nerve-wracking events, while identity theft (8.16) and the end of a long-term relationship (8.43) followed closely behind.
