Technology is advancing at a faster pace than our ability to adapt socially and institutionally. The internet and social media have led to the spread of rumors that confirm people's biases, the creation of echo chambers, angry online discussions, and difficulty in changing opinions. Celebrities who assert their political views find it hard to maintain their political integrity and change their minds. The internet can make us stagnant because we can't easily change what we think. However, some individuals find that algorithms adapt to their interests and create personalized echo chambers. This can lead to a sense of justification for the beliefs one already holds, but it may not necessarily be a more educated perspective.
