Algorithms are not objective. How does it feel to know this?
t might be helpful to start learning just the basics of how those algorithms work on the networks you tend to use, simply to make the platform work for you, not against you.
This month we are talking about algorithms. Maybe let’s start with this basic question: are you aware of social channels that use algorithms? Do you know what they are?
Welcome to our November Newsletter. Yesterday Voxel Hub was celebrating its second birthday, and it feels like this baby is slowly approaching the stage of early toddlerhood. In the next 12 months, we will be working softly on articulating the heart of our mission. We will simplify access to our content and write more and reach out to new audiences. We will focus on the core of our identity in relation to other, similar initiatives: the one to one relationship of humans with technology. So thank you for all your kind support so far, and stay tuned for this next stage of our journey.
Are you ready for a change that might lead to the opportunity of a better, more balanced life in the digital age – with digital technologies smoothly integrated as a significant aspect of your everyday life?
To live well, to thrive in the digital age, we all need to actively practice better and healthier habits. It’s an ongoing journey and yes, it requires soft effort. Not passive time off.
Another paradox of digital detoxing is the fact that many people focus on the “digital”, not on the “wellbeing” aspect of this practice.
Can the need for the detox in itself be an indication that your digital habits need to improve?
If you are taking time off digital experiences, it may be beneficial to actually commit to reflection and change.
So I have a suggestion: why not digital detox in micro-moments of gentle, soft awareness instead?
