  REFLECTION  

Throughout the weeks of writing the draft dissertation, I have gained added clarity into how the Nudge Theory s prevalent in my daily life. I see it every time I use an app on my phone and especially so when using technology. in all honestly, there was fear, in knowing that I have no control over the way these apps were designed. they were designed to keep me hooked and spend longer time on these apps which distract the work at hand. however, after research into the nudge theory, I have noticed the positive implications and how this theory can help overcome bias, and how nudge designs can be used to accelerate the adoption of new behaviors especially ones that are intended. after all, we fear what we don't understand, and once I have understood the nudge theory, instead of fear, I see hope in implementing this is various touch points for the betterment of self and community.
