Individuality of the Masses/Final Project

Our final presentation will be focused on how we implement "the individual" and aspects of technology with our digital interactions. We will use three different, well-known programs to indicate how technology has been able to become programmed to learn from and in some ways, capture aspects of humanity in the forms of "personalized programming." By using the technology we interact with everyday, programming can effectively learn from and use our own online choices to determine personalities; in a way, personalized programming is a tool in which digital culture could effectively teach technology how to understand and possibly even replicate human taste and personality. The digital media that we interact with on a daily basis is effective because we have programmed it to our individual tastes- but learning the individuality of the masses leaves us with this question: have our programming devices programmed us?
