The authors analyze preferences of devices enabling access to social media among the Polish internauts aged 15+, in regard to the “fear of missing out” (FOMO) phenomenon. The results of the representative, quantitative survey (CAWI) concerning the selection of devices and tools being used were analyzed according to demographic variables: age, sex, and place of living. The study concluded with a statement that due to huge interest of youth in the internet in mobile technologies, the variable most differentiating the selection of devices is the users’ age. Respondents from the socalled high FOMO group use mobile devices more often, as well as the devices less popular in general population, like smartwatches or consoles.
