The new obsession of the technology age: Digital Hoarding
With the age of technology, digital hoarding has also been added to the hoarding disease known as Compulsive Spooling Disease. Psychiatrist Onur Okan Demirci, who said that everything that is kept "maybe just because it works" and not erased on computers or mobile phones is slowly dragging you to digital hoarding, the main reason may be the lack of self-confidence.
Whether valuable or not, goods, waste, packaging, etc. In order to keep up with the times, Compulsive Accumulation Disease, which is defined as the inability to throw things out, entered our lives in order to keep up with the times, and digital hoarding started to be discussed along with the indispensable telephone and computer. Digital hoarding, which has emerged as a new definition because people are not able to delete not only their physical belongings, but also all kinds of digital data such as photos and conversations from their phones, e-mails or files from computers, is a new definition, Psychiatrist Onur Okan Demirci from Istanbul Gelisim University made evaluations about the situation and results.
