Few moments in life are as memorable as experiencing something for the first time. A flavor you had never tasted before. A sound you had never heard before. A feeling you had never felt before. It’s often in those moments that we grow. Our hearts expand to new people, our minds enhance to new places, and our hands extend to new endeavors. But those moments are rare. And they seem to be getting rarer. When was the last time that you experienced something completely new?

Growing up in the 90’s came with a particular promise of a better future world. I was taught that technology would give everyone access to everything that human knowledge had to offer. The entire planet would be fed with full perspective on every issue, and eventually, our ideologies were supposedly going to morph into one synchronized worldview. We would all be able to learn everything, see everything, hear everything, and never disagree again. The word “globalization” was uttered often and everywhere, by scientists, preacher and teachers. The idea itself was irresistible! The world, united. I believed in it. I looked forward to it. It seemed simple, good and certain. But then came the algorithms.
