Özet: Research Paper Social media sites are a popular, rapidly developing area of information sharing and social communication. However, especially in recent years, it has created an extreme dependency on young people. Internet addiction is a broad term that covers a variety of behavior, impulse, and control problems. Social media has become an area where some people avoid socializing, prefer to be alone and hide. The concept of FOMO is a concept that occurs with the use of smartphones. It is the desire to be constantly connected with what others do. In our study, our aim is to measure the FOMO levels of the participants in internet and social media usage and to show whether they show an intergenerational difference. As a result of the study, it was concluded that there is a significant relationship between FOMO behavior and smartphone addiction. It can be said that social media creates a potential concern, especially considering that the young generation spends more time on the internet every day. This situation can cause stress, anxiety, addiction and antisocialization in individuals. These facts force people to take precautions. It is important to get help from guides, turn to hobby areas, and participate in different activities. Supporting digital trainings in order to reduce the stresses of employees, especially in stressful sectors, will also prevent possible negativities. Awareness training should be provided to young people, families and employees on social network addiction
