I remember reading some interesting article about the rise and development in technology being responsible for increased anxieties and fears.
Our bodies are designed to naturally react to certain noises and in certain situations and suddenly all these gadgets, artificial noises/objects, hustle and bustle, busy roads and everything that comes with modern life can stress us and confuse our brains without realising it and we develop all kinds of irrational fears and disorders. And how we find it harder to disconnect from it all.
I've tried to find the link with no luck.
