Abstract

Mankind is by nature a social being, and therefore wants to be able to look face to face, to chat, to see and feel while looking. Not being able to communicate face-to-face—only communicating through social media—is not enough, and this situation creates new problems by multiplying the deficiencies. Minimalism is a space of liberation. Self-sufficiency is a must for renewing and producing itself. Harari describes those who cannot transform in this digital age as 'global superfluous.' To transform is to adapt to digital, but not to get lost in digital. Digital minimalism proposes to filter information with the philosophy of 'less is more.' In this philosophy, balance is essential. This study will analyze the approaches of X, Y, and Z generations to digital minimalism by in-depth interview technique. In this context, in the digitalizing universe, the concepts of loneliness, liberation, socialization and self-sufficiency will be traced.
