Without even realizing it, more and more of our daily decisions are being made or at least heavily influenced by technology. From what we see to what we buy, algorithms learn from us and start anticipating our behavior. The convenience is undeniable, but so is the subtle loss of control. Here are some of the ways technology is already deciding for you.
1. What You See on Social Media

2. What You Buy Online
