Your Life as Raw Material
Every time you pause mid-scroll, linger over a product photo, or hesitate before clicking "send," you're generating something valuable-but not for yourself. Somewhere, an algorithm is recording that hesitation, that pause, that moment of uncertainty. It's learning from you, about you, and increasingly, how to shape you. This isn't paranoia; it's the business model. We've entered an era where human experience itself has become the world's most lucrative raw material, extracted and refined not by force but by design so subtle we mistake it for convenience. The smartphone in your pocket isn't just a tool-it's a mining operation, and you're the seam being worked. The year 2001 marked a turning point, though few recognized it then. Google was hemorrhaging money, investors were restless, and the dot-com crash had made "internet company" sound like a punchline. The breakthrough came not from innovation in search technology but from a realization about waste. All those searches people conducted, the clicks they made, the time they spent hovering over links-this "digital exhaust" that seemed worthless contained extraordinary predictive power. Engineers discovered they could forecast not just what you might click, but what you might buy, where you might go, what you might do next. This wasn't inevitable technological progress-it was a deliberate invention, as carefully architected as Ford's assembly line. Google's AdWords system transformed advertising by creating real-time auctions where ad placements were sold based on predicted behavior rather than simple demographics. The results were staggering: revenues jumped 400% in the first year, then exploded to $3.5 billion by 2004.
