Filter Bubbles

Everyone who needs data from the World astray Web, uses search engines like Google or Yahoo to find the specific information he or she is feel for. These engines help us to filter tot whollyy the information given by the internet with the help of invisible algorithms. Without them we would devolve on umpteen hours in front of the screen and filter the information by ourselves. For example the search of a brownie recipe has an output of over forty billion search results.For this reason it is good to have these algorithms yet on the other hand it should be possible to select on our own which information gets filtered or not. For instance none of these algorithms lead be able to decide which information is relevant to us. It is comparable to our bookshelves at home. If on that train are only holiday catalogues in it and I am looking for the latest information about travel warnings in Egypt I go forth not find it, because I am only interested in the destination itself. As I already mentioned unique filter bubbles will be created for my profile as a consequence of these algorithms.Another signifi nominatet point is that the user will not be able to influence which field of study gets into the bubble or gets blocked by the binary gatekeepers. It seems to me, that the internet shows us what it thinks we want to see and not what the user really wants to know. I am not totally happy with that fact. I believe that in that respect wont be any chance to change our search bearing and the results if we are not aware of the fact of these filter methods. As remote as I can see there are many sites on the internet which use these algorithms like Facebook, Amazon and Google.In the case of Facebook it could remember I wont be able to see the posts of specific friend A because I liked the posts of a friend B first. I have to admit this scares me a bit because I whitethorn also want to read what friend A posted. The fact is that all of this so called invention hap pen in the darkness and stay there if no one recognizes them and cares about the security on the internet. Summing up it can be said that there are both positive and disallow aspects which plead for the invisible algorithms.
