Digital addiction
Addiction has persisted for many years. Only the factors that cause addiction have changed, diversified and multiplied over time. Today, the most powerful stimulant that makes the individual addicted is the digital world, the product of developing technologies. The state of technology to steer the world history has also created the concept of "digital dependent human" by penetrating into people's lives and even almost completely taking over. This has led to the emergence of new lifestyles shaped around digital addictions. Phenomena and their crazy followers are the best examples to give this. With the digitalization at the basis of technology, individuals coded have become dependent on the message coming from that environment as well as a dependence on the environment. Today's digital addicted model chooses to talk by writing instead of talking face to face with the human environment, to raise their morale thanks to the likes they share, to prefer virtual world friendships to real-world friendships and positioned digital as the main determinant of their lives.We are investigating the relations between happiness and digital addiction.
We aim to develop a conceptual, emotional and cultural framework for the digital addiction on the system which is updated by collecting and analyzing the users’ feedback from the users in social software technical systems. "Persuasive technology" which is the “software-assisted behavioral change mechanisms” is one of the keywords of the research. We are also investigating the “gamification techniques” in the project.
