When we consider the question "Does technology cause addiction?", in fact, when we look at it only as an object, it should not. Phones, tablets, computers, TVs and the like are inanimate and low-quality objects in an interactive context. The most important dependency need of human beings, right from the womb, is their mother, their father, and then other people with whom they can have a close relationship. Because humans are creatures of high quality in an interactive context. In interpersonal bonds, there is mutual emotional interaction and intellectual interaction. Mother-baby interaction and bonding begins with feeling that there is a desired and accepted baby in the mother's womb. Then, when he is born, the individual needs regular satisfaction of all his physiological needs as well as regular satisfaction of his emotional needs, which are vitally important, in order to bond safely to the mother. Thanks to the secure bond with the mother, the baby-child is ready to develop secure bonds with other people around him. All these ties are actually a kind of addiction. Because when we separate or lose one of these secure bonds we have developed, we feel deprivation, just like in substance and technology addiction. Or, if we have never had a secure attachment or secure addiction in our lives, from the womb to the newborn period when we come into the world and beyond, then we may turn to unsafe and risky addictions, such as technology addiction. When an individual has more than one relationship and object in his life to which he has developed secure attachments, the emotional satisfaction he experiences in these relationships is the only object; It keeps you away from addictions such as phones, tablets and computers. In other words, the individual does not need this, mostly if they have healthy attachments.
Otherwise, both the child and the adult are attached to technology, of course, if they have a safe emotional bond with their mother, father, spouse, lover, close friendships and sports or sports activities in which they are active. If there are no artistic activities. Because both the child and the adult always need regular, stable and consistent relationships in which they will feel emotionally satisfied. When these relationships are absent or inadequately fulfilled in your life, emotional satisfaction and pleasure are also lacking. The individual will fill this deficiency and void in his life. seeks a source of pleasure and satisfaction. That's when he puts the technology he can easily access into that gap. Technology is there for the individual whenever he wants, and responds to the individual whenever he wants and as much as he wants. However, the emotional pleasure we get from our securely attached relationships (mother, father, spouse, lover, friend...) is always higher than the one we get from technology. As long as we have relationships in our lives that we can access, that can respond to us in any situation, and where we feel that we are accepted unconditionally. If we have safe emotional bonds with our children and loved ones, then technology will not create an addiction in either our spouse or our children's lives. Because then neither our children nor our partner will need to connect to technology. Because computer games cannot replace the social games played with their parents or friends in any child's world. Because no spouse or lover would prefer technology to a pleasant conversation with their partner, an affectionate hug, or a trip they took together, with whom they experience emotional satisfaction. Remember, if your emotional connection with your child and partner is weak, there is a high risk that these individuals' technological connections will strengthen.
With love...
