By programming, we can reclaim control over our own digital experiences from "summary" of Program Or Be Programmed by Douglas Rushkoff

Programming provides us with the ability to understand and manipulate the digital environment in which we now live. By learning how to code, we can take back control over our own experiences online, rather than being at the mercy of the programs and algorithms created by others. In today's digital age, we are constantly bombarded with information and technology that shapes our interactions and perceptions. Without a basic understanding of programming, we are left vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation by those who do understand how to code. When we are passive consumers of digital content, we are subject to the biases and intentions of the programmers behind the technology we use. By learning to program, we can actively engage with and shape the digital landscape, ensuring that our own needs and desires are prioritized. Programming allows us to customize and personalize our digital experiences, rather than settling for one-size-fits-all solutions designed by corporations and advertisers. We can create tools and platforms that serve our own interests, rather than being forced to conform to the limitations of existing software.
  1. By gaining programming skills, we can assert our independence and agency in the digital realm. We can reclaim control over our data, privacy, and online interactions, empowering ourselves to navigate the digital world on our own terms.
