Abstract

The digitalization of data has profoundly affected every aspect of our lives: how we communicate and socialize, how we work, learn, and participate in politics and the economy. Digital sociology is concerned with all these new social fields. Digital obesity, which is overconsuming digital information, is a disease of the postmodern individual. Therefore, living in a digital society is a form of communication and membership in a virtual society in the postmodern era. New forms of sociality have been created as a result of this connection. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the literature on digital obesity, to sociologically explain digital obesity, and to shed light on the situation in Turkey. To categorize digital obesity in Turkey, the number of followers on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter will be reviewed and, to demonstrate the interest areas in Turkey, Twitter trending topics, Google, and YouTube trends will be examined for thirty days. This data was obtained from the Boomsocial website, and the Maxqda analysis program will be used to create the images.
