Abstract
Computers, the internet, and other smart devices have become indispensable in daily life. These tools make life easier in communication, access to information, time management, transportation, and many more. Unfortunately, not all the consequences of technology on people and society are advantageous and constructive. When misused, technological tools can have a harmful impact on lifestyle. The proliferation of new media has brought forth several issues, including the emergence of various addictions, cyberbullying, and privacy violations. The problems caused by digitalization are not limited to these. New types of diseases are emerging due to technological tools. These diseases cause or trigger more serious health problems. These disorders are usually caused by uncontrolled and unconscious use or the nature of technological devices. This study aims to examine disorders such as nomophobia, social media depression, phantom vibration syndrome, and cybersickness. The study focuses particularly on the causes of digital diseases, as well as their effects and preventative measures.
