Social media site algorithms, our phones and other systems that analyse our daily habits know more about us than we do ourselves. Do we know what will happen to the data stored by our
digital devices? What do we think a data-driven future will look like, if we are unable to even cope with the data-driven present? Is it conceivable that the infinite amount of data stored
in the human brain will one day be accessible to machines?
