A closer look
It’s the sneaky miracle of modern life: think about food, and suddenly your phone chirps with an ad for tacos. Feels like magic—until you realize it’s surveillance wearing a friendly smile. Apps track, listen, and predict, sometimes knowing your late-night cravings better than you do. What used to feel like coincidence now feels like a digital shadow following every word. We laugh about it, joke about our phones spying, but deep down, we wonder: are we choosing burritos, or are they choosing us?
