In today’s world, every online action builds a profile of who you are—and influences your choices more than you may realize. 👂Listen in and remember to like, comment, subscribe, & share 🧡 📌 Key Topics: 🔍 Understanding the Digital Village: how our digital lives mimic small-town dynamics, where everything we do is “seen”—but by algorithms instead of neighbors. 💡 The Influence of Big Data on Behavior: Discover how algorithms use your online behavior to shape everything from ads you see to your decision-making. ❤️ Data"s Potential for Mental Health: Learn how psychological targeting could improve well-being by identifying those in need of support and tailoring mental health resources.
