Reading for 3/11
Carr, Nicholas. "Is Google Making Us Stupid?" The Atlantic. July/August 2008.Filter Bubbles (In-Class 3/11, 3/13)
Main Talking Points:
- Information vs. Affirmation = "Who wants to hear the truth when they can hear they are right?" (Confirmation Bias)
- Information diet? Become an information omnivore. Seek out alternative viewpoints, immerse yourself in diverse news sources, to avoid "traveling the same mental routes every day."
- Recognize that "clicks have consequences."
- Filter bubble phenomenon - black-or-white fallacy?
