Digital Natives refer to people born after 1980. They were born, matured and developed with high technology and Internet , which makes their lifestyles and ways of thinking very different from those previous generation of "digital immigrants".

What does the identity of a Digital Native give us?
For digital natives, the internet contains their memories from childhood and it is almost eternal. To be unable to forget means to be unable to forgive. Some mistakes made in youth can become lifelong stains that cannot be erased. This makes it possible for to day's public figures to always have their dark history unearthed from years ago.

The impact of big data algorithms on us
「National Security」
The election of Donald Trump as US President and the UK's exit from the EU are both tied to big data algorithms
「Ethics in Society」
Models of big data trained from people's biased information can also be biased. In the long run, this will increase racism and sexism in society.
「Personal Development」
People are forced to become digital laborers as data capitalism unilaterally acquires personal data as free raw material and transforms it into substantial profits. The excessive dissemination of similar information leads to the emergence of digital cocoons.
Thanks to recommendation algorithms, people always see information on the internet that is similar to their own views, so their tolerance of different voices slowly diminishes, which in turn can easily lead to group bias.

What Can Mice Do AboutInformation Privacy Breaches?
Due to people's long-term use of the internet, big data algorithms have made our behaviour more predictable. Compared to human browsing habits, mice's behaviouris more disorganised and unpredictable. In the future, by extracting mouse behaviour and translating it into mobile phone interface actions, it may help humans break out their information cocoons.

Sketch Ideas
According to the principles of the operation of the big data in previous, I envisage a hamster placed in a transparent acrylic container and monitored by a machine, its behaviour will be translated into commands for mobile phone operations, which can be translated into actions such as sliding screens, liking and favouriting.
