According to Dr. Kardaras, "technology addiction" is not acknowledged in the DSM-V and society because people aren't ready to acknowledge it as a legitimate issue. He suggests that there is a societal reluctance to recognize the potentially harmful effects of excessive technology use and the addiction-like symptoms it can produce. This lack of recognition may stem from cultural attitudes surrounding technology and its integration into daily life.
