New Gods (Media, Technology, etc.)

New Gods refer to the dominant entities or forces in media and technology that shape modern culture and society, often representing powerful trends or innovations. They include major tech companies, social media platforms, and digital giants that influence how we communicate, access information, and perceive the world. Similar to ancient deities, these modern "gods" wield significant control over daily life and collective consciousness, often dictating social norms, economies, and identities through their platforms and technologies. Understanding them helps us navigate how these forces impact our behaviors, privacy, and societal values in a digitally interconnected world.
