With the worldwide spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, social distances, quarantines and the ban on the street have become more widespread throughout the world. The governments brought urgent restrictions on social life to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These include remotely learning and remotely working measures and restrictions on activities carried out in crowded environments. Social isolation restrictions have led to sudden changes in people’s daily routine and mood, and this has led to an increase in the consumption of digital entertainment, online games and social media. While the use of the Internet provides a variety of social benefits, it can also lead to a number of psychological or mental problems in some people. In this article, based on the research and reports conducted during the pandemic period, the findings related to technology dependency will be examined from a sociological perspective. It will be explained what technology addiction is and how it occurs as a risk factor during the pandemic period, and based on the findings obtained from various scientific research, the fact of technology addiction will be studied within the subgroups.
