As technology advances and evolves at unprecedented rates, there are concerns that we will fail to recognize potential consequences and pitfalls. The fear is that individuals will fail to recognize and fully grasp what they're participating in, what they're consenting to and what they're enabling online. A respondent who preferred to remain anonymous wrote that while “the information we want will increasingly find its way to us, as networks learn to accurately predict our interests and weaknesses... that will also tempt us to stop seeking out knowledge, narrowing our horizons, even as we delve evermore deep."</span></span></div>
