Since the invention of the world wide web in 1990, sociology, technology and culture had a different meaning. Technology has managed to integrate at a rapid pace in our social structure and has even become transmitters of our social behavior. We are able to share personal data via the network and use it to build a digital identity. Within this system we are building a database of online traces that form a digital identity. Here you have no control, even though you have the choice to determine where you leave after your tracks. You have no control over how they are stored and directed. Also, you have no control over the self-control systems, organizations and people that have the ability to get information without you having influence. This is also seen as a threat because it may harm your image, you can influence and could even take away your freedom. This method of social control is integrated in our society. The question is whether this control will affect our freedom or that it is a mindset where we need to go into and rely on.

Brain cap makes you feel like you are high
Want to get high without anybody knowing or breaking the law?
This new ‘Thync’ pad that does things to your brain to trick it and many people say it’s left them feeling like they’ve just had a joint.
You either put it on your temple or at the back of your head depending on whether you want to be calmer or need a bit of stimulation.
Users have described the calm mode as ‘a bit like we’d just smoked a joint’ and described the energy mode as ‘stimulated clarity’, according to Gizmag.
Thync works by sending electronic pulses to cranial nerves through bio-compatible materials and the intensity and duration of the pulses can be controlled remotely through a phone app.
Costing £299, this brain enhancing device requires a minimum of five minutes for its calming effect
