Summary/Abstract: Throughout history, society and technology have always interacted with each other. It has emerged as a result of development in information and communication technologies (ICT), which is called the Information Revolution in the world. The modern society has been replaced by the information society. The use of the Internet, which has become one of the indispensable habits of our age, thanks to the developing technologies in the information society, facilitates our lives in many areas, such as our daily life, business and education life. In addition to many advantages, such as saving time by providing fast communication, reaching sufficient and satisfying information and shortening distances, this technological phenomenon, which brings with it many sociological and psychological negativities when not used consciously, has become more controversial in recent years. In this research, it is aimed to determine the opinions of university students in terms of psychological health, one of the disadvantages brought by technology. As a result of the findings obtained from this study, which was conducted with 82 students in the 2021–2022 fall semester, it was concluded that the students are dependent on the use of technological equipment; the duration of use is quite high; and they will not quit even if they know that they will become psychologically ill.
