Did you ever felt that the doomsday is near ?. Do you feel the society standards are getting exacerbated day by day ?. Do you think that certain political party is corrupt to above tolerance level while the other is clean and beneficial to the public to great heights. Do you think business is bad ? Do you think there are no safe measures for investing ? How do you conclude that a certain tradition of a particular community is wrong and yours is right? Did you ever felt the same way since childhood and if yes, did you question it ever ? Doesn't these questions perplexed your mind ? and if you doesn't even question these, definitely we are in a great trouble because in that way we have surrendered our capability to even think and take decisions.
The people are so engrossed in judging people, finding flaws and creating an opinion about everything and proving it right that we hardly notice what is that which is shaping our thinking. what is making one so impulsive to respond with preconceived notions. if we analyse it, we will get to know that we no longer are able to think independently. The main reason for this is we are continuously bombarded with information since childhood. which actually fix your mindset to certain notions. starting from parents, then friends and relatives it keeps on changing and evolving depending upon the impact and influence of the people before us. This happens all the time and it been carrying on since ages. But, the new kind of social media which involves internet and technology has created an outright paradigm shift in the way we socialize.
why has this happened ? To understand this lets delve into history a it and question why wars happen. The clear cut and simple logical answer is nothing but " too many people fighting for limited resources ". Now, with the advent of internet the next big resource is nothing but the " #DATA" which can also be understood as " information ". Now if we compare the power of this data compared to any other weapon of mass destruction, the weapons cant even do half the destruction what this " DATA" could do.
In this world where everybody is quite tech savvy and quite cognizant. we hardly notice where your data has been saved and how will it be used further. A simple application of a "#TORCH" takes your permission to read all your messages, save them, alter them, and even send messages on ones behalf, and the aware people simply accept the terms and conditions without a read.
"#FACEBOOK" used your data in 2012 and did a research on you and your information and concluded that your mind can be altered and influenced with kind of feeds delivered. By the way, the consent to use you and all your information was given by you in the terms and conditions sheet which you hardly go through. similarly, #youtube, #linkedin, #instagram and many more they suck in all your data and info. which are stored in clouds for their further use. Apart from data storage, they feed you with more data as per your choice, preference or click which actually takes you to the extreme nature of how that previous information influenced you.
US intelligence agency created a project " key hole" to keep a track of every aspect and location to locate any space and landmark for their tracking record which is quite known in its commercially name as #googlearth.
Apart from this 108 dedicated cyber cells located in different parts of the world including the one in Ethiopia are committed to creating content which can be misleading and could catalyze any sort of ideology to extreme and alter people mindsets and mold the thinking to their interests.
If you closely analyse the next big resource in the world is #data and the warfare which is happening constantly is not on a physical space but in a virtual one where your enemy could trap you in a #matrix and shape your mind making you psychologically weak to withstand them.
