The Weight of Technology – You are not alone.

by Jeremy Abram Every social platform begins with a promise — connection, creativity, community — but each one eventually reshapes not just how we interact online, but how we think, behave, and even perceive ourselves. The lifecycle of social media platforms isn’t just about technology; it’s about the psychology of attention and the adaptability (or…

Introduction Artificial intelligence and automation are reshaping the modern workplace with unprecedented speed. From predictive analytics in finance to generative AI in creative industries, machines are learning to perform not only repetitive labor but also increasingly complex cognitive tasks. This evolution raises a profound question: as algorithms take on more of the work once reserved…

By Jeremy Abram | jeremyabram.net In the modern digital ecosystem, it is no exaggeration to say that every click, swipe, like, and linger contributes to a silently generated trail of data. These traces—commonly called digital footprints—are not simply idle remnants of our online behaviours. They are collected, stitched together and transformed into identity trails: structured…

In a world where digital devices promise connection, productivity, and convenience, a quiet exhaustion has crept into our collective consciousness. It’s not the fatigue of physical overexertion, but of mental depletion — a kind of weariness that settles in after too many notifications, too many open tabs, too little stillness.

The Invisible Hand Behind Your Feed Every scroll, pause, like, and share is a whisper to the algorithm—a subtle cue teaching social media platforms who you are, what you value, and what might keep you engaged for just a few seconds longer. The feeds we see are not random assortments of posts; they are precisely…

I. The Night the Circuits Slept When the engineers first noticed the neural net’s strange behavior, they assumed it was noise — a statistical hiccup in a billion-parameter web.At 3:17 a.m., the system began generating images without a prompt: fractured cities under violet skies, faceless figures dissolving into static, memories it could not have had.They…

In the age of total visibility, disappearance is the final luxury.Once, to vanish meant crossing a border, burning your papers, changing your name. Today, the border is invisible, the papers are digital, and the name—your username, handle, biometric pattern—is replicated in hundreds of databases you’ve never seen. To vanish is not impossible, but it requires…

Introduction: The Age of Constant Alarm Every ping, alert, and breaking headline feels urgent. We live in an age where our devices—and our minds—never stop buzzing. Yet in this endless cascade of notifications and to-dos, something crucial happens quietly: the real signal, the thing that matters most, gets lost in the noise. Distraction isn’t just…

Introduction: The Attention Crisis We live in an age where our attention is a commodity—bought, sold, and competed for by billions of devices, apps, and algorithms. Every ping, buzz, and banner notification is designed to pull us away from what we are doing and immerse us in someone else’s agenda. The result is a paradox…

The Vanishing Magic of Technology There was a time when turning on a computer or connecting to the internet felt like stepping into the future. The sound of a dial-up modem was more than noise—it was a gateway to a new world. Each technological leap used to fill us with wonder: the first flip phone,…
