Nowadays the number of computer users is constantly increasing. However, the old desktop is also being replaced by smartphones. These smartphones have the ability to collect information about the user, such as location, and sell it to marketers. However, with the increase in information and technology available to us, the idea that we are losing our individualism increases. Increasing information is starting to leave our subconscious susceptible to the control of the powerful. Some large retail outlets are starting to collect people's personal information, tricking their customers into signing up for cards that offer customers small incentives to swipe them every time they buy. items at the checkout. In America, this is starting to make itself felt, like when a girl started receiving pregnancy brochures mailed from Walmart. Even though the father complained: it turned out that the girl was actually pregnant and that Walmart could tell from the items she brought that she was pregnant before her father. This shows how we are reducing ourselves to statistics and figures rather than our personal traits. Individuality is the attitude of an individual that distinguishes the individual from all others. However, our dependence on mass media is eliminating our individualism, leaving us susceptible to the control of the powerful. Individuality is being lost because the human brain is becoming increasingly dependent on the information provided by technology for decision making. The Pedestrian written by Ray Bradbury is the story of a… medium of paper… and what others treated it. This shows how people make decisions based on the information they receive. This means that the Artificial Intelligence in the Matrix trilogy could not have been born as a monster. However, the Matrix trilogy never provided the reason why the "Artificial Intelligence" turned into a monster that spawns an army, nor does it answer what the "Artificial Intelligence" Purpose of the AI was. Was “artificial intelligence” created to steal our individuality in the first place? He sedated and put the humans in the Matrix, but what if everything was planned by the government at the time but it went horribly wrong? The pawn also shows the government sedating humans by keeping them in their homes watching television which is changing their thoughts. However, as we are becoming glued to our phones and computers, we need to ask ourselves. This is our future??
