Abstract

The development of digital technology has transformed human lifestyles, particularly among the younger generation, who are increasingly engaged in online activities such as online gaming. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of online game addiction from the perspective of F. Budi Hardiman’s philosophy of technology through the concept of “I Click, Therefore I Am.” The research employs a qualitative method with a library research approach, using textual analysis of Hardiman’s works and relevant literature on online game addiction. The findings indicate that online games not only affect psychological and social aspects but also give rise to an existential crisis in the digital era. Human existence, previously grounded in the awareness of thinking (cogito ergo sum), has shifted toward an existence based on digital activities such as clicking, virtual interaction, and connectivity within online games. This condition leads to a reduction in social presence, a decline in relational sensitivity, and dependency on virtual spaces. Thus, online game addiction is not merely a behavioral issue but also a manifestation of an ontological transformation of humans toward homo digitalis. This study emphasizes the importance of critical awareness in the use of technology so that humans do not lose their existential dimension amid the dominance of the digital world.
