Are our choices really ours?

In today's world, the truth is defined by google. Suppose you want to know which movie is trending or which is the best place to go on vacation. You will simply take out your phone and ask google about it. In today's world, we trust technology even more than ourselves. From which clothes to wear to which car you should buy, you take the help of technology. Our choices don't come from the blue they are the result of biochemical processes which happen in the brain these choices are highly volatile and are shaped by our surroundings like our society, friends, schooling. A person living in a tribal area will be more concerned about how to make it through the day rather than the looming danger of global warming so the decisions he will take will be centred around it, he will vote for a political party that will promise him employment rather than a political party that will reduce carbon emission.
