What if your phone knows you better than you know yourself?

Every swipe, like, pause, and share teaches algorithms who you are. Over time, your social media feeds begin reflecting your habits, beliefs, interests, and attention patterns back to you. But what happens when you're no longer using technology intentionally—and instead, technology begins shaping you?

In this episode of the New World Leaders Podcast, we explore the hidden relationship between people and technology, how social media algorithms influence our daily decisions, why doom scrolling is so addictive, and how to transition from unconsciously consuming content to intentionally using technology as a tool for growth.

In this conversation, you'll learn:

How social media algorithms track your behavior.

Why doom scrolling is so difficult to stop.

The psychology behind personalized content.

How technology influences your thoughts, emotions, and habits.

Practical ways to become more intentional with your screen time.

How to retrain your algorithm to serve your goals instead of your distractions.

Why digital literacy is one of the most important skills of the modern era.

Technology isn't inherently good or bad—it's a tool. The question is whether you're controlling your technology, or whether it's controlling you.
