The Scariest Thing in Your Feed

Arthur C. Clarke said: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”

Sometimes, social media feels that way.

You mention a product once and suddenly it’s everywhere in your feed.

Creepy? Absolutely.

But there’s no ghost in the machine, just algorithms that know us better than we know ourselves.

The good news?

We have the most powerful magic of all: human agency – the ability to choose.

The choice to pause. To disconnect. To reclaim what’s real.

This Halloween, don’t fear your tech. Outsmart it.
