Watching The Social Dilemma. Big tech manipulation and control is the biggest threat for our future in my opinion.

Tristan Harris a former Design Ethicist at Google understands this threat.

"Two billion people will have thoughts they didn& #39;t intend to have because a designer at Google said, "This is how notifications work"" - Tristan Harris

Much like training a dog with a bell or a clicker, we& #39;re being trained by our notifications.

Actionable notifications trigger a specific, simple behavior.

Some notifications are to spark interest.

Big tech has spent countless hours just on developing effective notifications.

"Because we don& #39;t pay for the products that we use, advertisers pay for the products that we use. Advertisers are the customers. We& #39;re the thing being sold." - Aza Raskin, former Firefox & Mozilla employee.

If you& #39;re not paying for the product, you are the product.

Big tech`s business model is to keep people engaged on the screen.

They try to determine how much of your life they can get you to give to them.
