This paper is a study to check the flow of how addiction to media services has been studied from a long-term perspective, and to identify variables that can be the basis for future addiction research. Researchers noted the addiction of media services in adolescents in particular, and identified a combination of factors depending on the background of the times. Addiction variables were largely aggregated into four properties: adolescent properties, personal properties, media properties, and media-dependent properties. Addiction variables belonging to the attribute were influenced by major media and divided into four periods. During the study period, the frequency of variables was most related to personal attributes, followed by media attributes, adolescent attributes, and media-dependent attributes. Also Individual attribute variables gradually shifted from object-relationship to individual psychological factors. Variants in media attributes were influenced by the introduction and spread of new media. Variations in adolescent and media-dependent attributes have been weak in studies that observe teenagers' motivations for media use or are related to addiction, and no papers have been published since 2020. Although addiction research on media services is important in terms of industry, there has been an emphasis on social aspects, based on the results of this study, we hope to continue to study the variables of service users who can be used in terms of industry.

21세기를 사는 우리네 자화상이다. 하루종일 휴대전화, 이메일, 메신저를 통해 대화하고 확인한다. 정보화시대를 사는 우리는 디지털 세상에 단단히 접속되어 있음을 수시로 확인해야 직성이 풀린다. "나는 접속한다. 고로 존재한다"라는 명제는 진부할 정도다. 존재의 당위를 넘어 가히 집착의 수준이다. 디지털 문명의 노예가 되어버린 것이다. 20세기는 '접속' 이라는 단어가 모든 것을 가능케 해 줄 것만 같았던 시기였다. 21세기가 되자 접속이 중독을 낳는 상황이 초래되었다. 바로 이 지점에서 문제가발생한다. 인간의 심성구조, 생활패턴에서부터 사회구조에 이르기까지 우리 사회가 디지털 문명의 소용돌이에 휘몰리는 상황, 이른바 디지털 신드름에 빠지게 된 것이다. 그 속에서 살아가는 우리는 디지털 피로, 디지털 스트레스를 만성적으로 겪고 있다.
