Do you control technology or does technology control us?

Answer 1

you know, it goes both ways.

We own technology--we assemble it, code it, choose what to do with it. All apps, algorithms, and devices are a result of a human creating it to achieve something. However, technology in essence has brought more control over us than we easily imagine, not because it is powerful but rather on the basis of how we learn to use it.

Consider what algorithms do to shape what people see, purchase, and even how people think. Or how the time on the screen becomes our life without even realizing it. The technology is not forcing us, but it is made to attract our attention, guess our behavior, and even influence our choices.

And yes, we master technology, but only to the degree that we do not lose track of how we use it. When used with intent, it is a tool. When we allow it to go uncontrolled, it gradually begins to mold us.
