The excessive use of new technologies by young university students has caused health problems that potentiate biological, psychological and social affectations. Here, a comparative analysis is made on the level of affectation before and after the covid-19 pandemic due to the excessive use of technologies (cyberpathologies) in university students of the School of Accounting and Administration of the Universidad Veracruzana, Coatzacoalcos campus. For data collection, a survey was elaborated and applied through Google Forms. With the information collected, descriptive techniques were used with the objective of comparing the samples based on the study hypothesis. The results show empirical evidence that students are prone to suffer from cyberpathologies. This demonstrates the need to investigate in an explanatory way the factors that cause them. The affectations demonstrated imply the need to generate educational public policies that seek to address this problem in universities.
