#information bubble

[andrew-echoes]

Sometimes I need to take a break from social media and the constant flow of information. How much time do we actually spend online? It's important to give our brains a rest and enjoy life outside the information bubble.

There's so much we can do: go for a walk, read a book meet up with friends, cook a new dish or spend time with family.

Social networks can easily take up too much of our time and we need to remember why we're using them - for work, for entertainment but not at the expense of real life.

How much time do you spend on social media?

How much allowing your choice of followers / algorithm to show you posts that match your thoughts are need of validation or building up confirmation bias? Looking through my tumblr feed gives me two feelings:

1. Why everything I am being shown builds up what I already know?

2. So this is why I am always angry.

In the mess of the today’s world I am sometimes left to worry that I always have a reason to doubt my strongest convictions because the true information is no longer available and algorithms will make sure to make one feel good about what they think and make it stronger so that you will be always restrained by the bubble made of our own convictions.

of course you have

It’s cool if you filter your dash and surround yourself with the things that interest you, but do not for a second think that everyone shares your opinion just because “all your friends” agree with you.

We did not have a video post in a while. You must be really bored from long written post so here is a link to short TED video that will change your opinion on internet forever.

Everyone should see this and know this video!

This is a clear example of how sheep are being made of us and about information being deprived from us.

I want Facebook to show me all of my friends' posts in the order they posted them. I don't want it to try to intuit what posts I will like so it can "protect" me from the ones I won't. I don't want it to create an information bubble around me that never lets anything uncomfortable through.
