Follow the White Rabbit
Are you ready to venture into another rabbit hole with me?
You may want to sit down…
What if I told you that technology could read your mind?The majority of people are dependent on technology already, specifically smart phones. We know it’s designed to be addictive and manipulative.
…What’s next?
Technology that can translate brain activity to speech or texts
is currently being developed.
This is not science fiction.
Mind reading could conceivably evolve into mind control.
Our thoughts and feelings may become nothing more than data
in the near future.
Although I do not believe artificial intelligence will ever be as complex as human consciousness, this advanced technology is certainly capable of disrupting reality as we know it.

Your Phone Is Watching You
Not only are our phones listening, they’re watching too.
Hopefully we’re all aware at this point that ‘targeted ads’ are a result of the apps on our phones monitoring our online activity and conversations.
I have seen ads on Instagram and Twitter for things I had random conversations about on more than one occasion. I don’t have TikTok but it’s known for being the most invasive in relation to data collection.
Yesterday, I was sitting cross legged while eating during a break at work.
I opened Instagram and the first thing on my feed was a video (posted days ago) of an influencer recommending sitting cross legged while eating.
