Seadmesõltuv

Seadmesõltuv refers to a state of being dependent on a specific electronic device or technology. This dependency can manifest in various ways, ranging from a reliance on smartphones for communication and information access to a broader dependence on the internet and digital services for daily tasks. The term encompasses both psychological and practical aspects of this reliance.

Psychologically, individuals may experience anxiety or discomfort when separated from their devices, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as "nomophobia" (no-mobile-phone phobia). This can stem from a fear of missing out on social interactions, important notifications, or access to information. The constant availability of entertainment and social connection through devices can also lead to addictive behaviors, where individuals find it difficult to disengage.

Practically, many modern systems and services are designed with device integration in mind. From banking and shopping to education and work, a significant portion of daily life now requires access to and proficiency with electronic devices. This makes seadmesõltuv a common characteristic of contemporary society, reflecting the pervasive nature of digital technology in human activities. The level of dependence can vary greatly among individuals and across different demographics.
