This means that our collective existence lies within a global society supported by an economy that is almost entirely structured by information technology, the study or use of systems for storing, retrieving, and sending information. This has led to a modernization of global data into a rigid system of, inputs and outputs. We have all unknowingly become an array of transistors in a system based on efficiency and results. The introduction of developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence has resulted in an even more systemic process whose sole purpose is to see the individual as a piece of the machine and use them as a means to an end.
