Do you get frustrated and angry when your WiFi connection stops working? It could be because of your personality, says a research.

The study, published in the journal Heliyon, showed that when digital technology stops working, people with a fear of missing out (FOMO) — the anxiety of missing out on a social experience that others might be having — display more extreme reactions.

People who were seen as being more neurotic and extroverted also had more extreme reactions to failures in digital technology.
