Aaira Shah

Student

Aaira Shah is a 13 year-old student at RBK International Academy. We all know that tech addiction is an incredibly spoken-about topic worldwide. But what’s not talked about, is what goes on behind your screen, that hooks you onto the app. When you open Facebook and Instagram, how is it possible that you find a feed perfectly curated to your interests? Some may call this issue an invasion of privacy, other call it capitalism. Nonetheless, she believes that the more we make this issue a topic of discussion, the closer the world gets to finding a solution.
