Eli Pariser: Beware Online 'filter bubbles'
Nowadays it is difficult to watch something that has not been tailored for you. This is called your filter bubble. This is why search results for 2 people googling the same subject can come up with completely different pages and links.
I agree with the presenter that it is important as to what information gets through our filters. Websites need to have algorithms encoded in them so users have access to important information and a sense of public life, not just 'junk food' pages and links.
