The research method of this study is based on phenomenology. Phenomenology is the study of human lived experiences. The method of investigation in phenomenology involves studying phenomena and describing them while considering the manner of their manifestation and effects, without valuing or judging them. The findings of this study indicate that technology and digital objects have a knowledge-constructing function and continuously place humans in a state where they voluntarily adhere to specific algorithms and rules. Humans, using objects such as platforms, smartphones, artificial intelligence, and search engines, constantly live within a network of microphysics of power that both constructs knowledge for them and monitors them The study concludes that technology and digital objects function as knowledge-constructing tools and continuously place individuals in situations where they voluntarily adhere to specific algorithms and rules. Through the pervasive use of digital objects like platforms, smartphones, artificial intelligence, and search engines, individuals live within a network of microphysics of power that both constructs knowledge and monitors them.</p> https://journals.kmanpub.com/index.php/aitechbesosci/article/download/2456/4152
