The difficulties linked to the use of screens cannot be dealt with independently of the social, historical, moral or religious context. Indeed, although it seems obvious, for some practitioners, that an excessive use of these machines can only be approached from the curative or sanitary angle of addiction, it is worth asking ourselves, without rushing to form a judgement, about the value of these screens taking a more psychopathological approach by questioning their various functions. These usages can reveal a singular relationship designed to maintain the subject in a particularly useful homeostatic state, sometimes serving as a temporary substitution where the deficiency is manifest.
