Filter Bubbles and How to Gain Control of Your Free Time


https://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bubbles


A filter bubbling is when your computer filters the results you receive when searching something on the internet. It bases things off of your account, how your sitting, what computer you’re on, the links you click on, etc. It limits what you can see and what you can’t. Leaving different people with different concerns. The only advantage to filter bubbling is that it is trying to show you what you want to see and it will give you results it thinks you want, leaving out things it thinks you don’t want to see. The disadvantages are that you might have different interests and want different results and won’t get them. Things could be harder to find and you might get annoyed. I have noticed filter bubbles myself on Instagram and Netflix. It will show pictures and videos or movies and shows all that are based on what I’ve liked and watched in the past.
