This means teaching media literacy as a core competency, from elementary school onward. It means demanding transparency from the algorithms that govern our attention. It means recognizing that when we choose a show to stream or a video to watch, we are not merely passing time; we are voting with our attention for the kind of culture we wish to inhabit.
