Dependence on digital media is an increasingly present problem today, where technology shapes everyday actions, the way we communicate and how we look at the world. This type of addiction does not affect all generations in the same way. There are great differences in how and in what way generational groups experience addiction to digital media. Addiction to digital media refers to the uncontrolled use of digital devices such as smartphones, computers, games, as well as excessive use of the Internet and social networks. Like any other type of addiction, it can leave serious consequences on the mental and physical health of the individual. Technology offers countless possibilities and advantages, such as communication at any time and in any place and access to information and unlimited entertainment. Although technology has improved today's lives, it is not difficult to get lost in the myriads of possibilities where it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between the online and offline worlds. People use technology for good purposes, but also as an escape from problems, obligations and boredom. Such a way of life results in uncontrolled reliance on digital media because of satisfaction and possible comfort. Social networks allow us to share every aspect of life through pictures and posts. But for some people, it can cause a strong feeling of acceptance that we get through comments and likes. People, especially young people, spend as much time as possible online, thereby disrupting social relationships and daily obligations. In this way, digital media become the dominant means of connection and information, while live interactions become a thing of the past. It also has a great impact on mental health. It is increasingly clear that addiction to digital media is a big problem for today's society, where it is difficult to stay true to yourself and set boundaries. The cure for an individual's mental and physical health lies in maintaining a balance between the digital and real worlds.
