Technology Mind Hijack

Whenever you have a free moment, sit down and read through this Tristan Harris piece - How Technology Hijacks People's Minds - from a Magician and Google's Design Ethicist. It's difficult to summarize in a quick, consumable blurb but, overall, it serves as a reminder that the technology fueled world we're living in is designed to manipulate you in certain ways. I'm not saying it's sinister, I'm just saying it's a cause and effect situation that preys on feedback cycles of your brain.

It's a long read but a highly recommended one just to cleanse your palette from time to time and remind yourself that you're running things.
