In George Orwell’s 1984, one of the most profound themes is the contrast between the proles, who remain truly human, and the Party members, who lose their humanity to the regime’s control. Today, we find a modern parallel in the way digital algorithms shape our lives. While technology offers incredible convenience, it also has the power to manipulate emotions, beliefs, and behaviors. Social media platforms and targeted content often create echo chambers, leading individuals to become more like passive recipients of information rather than active, critical thinkers. In this sense, some people are losing their genuine human emotions, becoming more machine-like as their feelings are manipulated by algorithms. Meanwhile, others maintain their humanity by staying critical, aware, and connected to genuine human experiences. It’s a reminder that in our digital age, we must actively seek authenticity and preserve our humanity amid the noise.
