This thesis aims to find the basis for interpreting digital media as a “tactile hot media” that appears to be a contradiction in McLuhan’s formalist media philosophy by revealing the correlation between McLuhan and Selye. And this thesis also aims to use McLuhan’s media philosophy as a therapy theory for digital media addiction. And based on these discussions, it aims to evaluate the method proposed by modern media philosophers such as Norbert Bolz, digital critics, and IT companies to solve digital media addiction. The central argument of this study is as follows. Contrary to standard interpretation, the definition of media does not necessarily have an inverse relationship with the degree of participation to the media when revealing the correlation between McLuhan’s and Selye’s theory. In other words, It is possible to discuss about hot media stimulating various sense of human. In conclusion, digital media can be interpreted as tactile hot media. When interpreted in this way, McLuhan’s theory does not go against modern social science and empirical research that define digital media addiction as a pathological hyperfocus and overindulgence for specific media. And McLuhan’s theory also can be used as a tool to evaluate solutions for digital media addiction proposed in various fields.
