Investigative Exercise 8. - CURRENT AWARENESS POST
The first video is a TED talk about web companies tailoring online content to personal tastes, and influencing the results of news and search results. The inadvertent result of this is users becoming enclosed within in a "filter bubble and don't get exposed to information that could challenge or broaden our worldview." Eli Pariser puts forward the point that "this will ultimately prove to be bad for us and bad for democracy", and delves into the need for a updated equivalent of journalistic integrity for the technological age.
It is certainly a concerning aspect of the current search environment.
