The digital age features a pervasive sense of observation from both devices and self-awareness. The self-observer within us, meant for personal growth, coexists with a digital observer residing in technology, which tracks behavior and preferences. This digital gaze promotes certain performances, often without users' awareness, prioritizing external compliance over inner insight. Technologies reflect curated images of users, filtered through algorithms that replace true reflection with reinforcement. This shift alters motivations from self-inquiry to self-presentation, leading to conflict between authentic self-growth and societal expectations.
Today's technologies act as psychological mirrors-reflecting back curated images of who we are, filtered through algorithms that learn from patterns, not meanings.
The digital observer thrives on data-your attention, preferences, and digital traces, shaping how you behave and encouraging predictable performance.
