This document discusses how technologies can lead people away from who they want to be by capitalizing on inherent tendencies. It examines the symbiotic relationship between humans and technology, and how our perception of the world and meaning is filtered through instruments. Several scholars are referenced who discuss topics like privacy in a technological context, contextual integrity, and how privacy is an ongoing social accomplishment achieved through struggle rather than a fixed state. The conclusion reiterates that technologies are integral to how we recognize ourselves.
