Which tech villain of our time has done the most damage to modern life?

That invisible puppet master deciding what you see, think, and buy. It knows you're pregnant before your mum does, and it wants you angry.

Tesco promised convenience and delivered a screaming machine that accuses you of theft every 12 seconds. Somewhere, a checkout worker is unemployed.

Every single website now demands a 15-minute negotiation before you can read a recipe. Brussels meant well, but this is genuine psychological warfare.

You just want to speak to someone about your broadband. Instead, a cheerful bot named Aria loops you through 40 menus before hanging up.

Remember paper menus? The pub does not. Now you squint at a greasy screen while your pint gets warm and your phone dies.
