Fonic

Life evolves, and new words are needed from time to time to describe new ideas, things or situations.

The world that is now so filled with smartphones has led to a radical and unprecedented shift in lifestyle for many people. These people, this lifestyle and the act of manifesting this lifestyle is encapsulated in the term "fonic".

A fonic is a person who spends most of their free time with the head down, immersed in a behaviour that is generally considered trivial skimming images, posts and comments on various social media sites.

To be fonic, a person is exhibiting characteristics of the fonic lifestyle. Similar to the usage of "athlete" to describe somebody who is generally involved in athletic endeavours, but with the same simple term rather than a new spelling.

Fonic is not intended to impart negativity, but most will agree it is decidedly not a healthy lifestyle and is considered a rude mannerism is many social situations.
