The Filter Bubble

1) Every time we did a search, we either more or less use the same web pages, but many times we didn't get the same or in different order. Even though all the members in our group had created the gmail account just for the course, or had the account a long time ago but didn't use to see new through google, we more or less had the same web pages when we enter something in the search box of Google main page.

The conclusion I got of the video, talking about the Filter Bubble, is that in a way search engines or other internet web page service shows you the information you want to see. They suppously know what you want to see from your lately searches. All the time you do a search, in gets stored for the next time you do any type of search. This has a problem because you can't decide to new news or other types enter your filter bubble. The example that the man in the video gives is a very simple one. In Netflix, if you want to look for new genres of movie, it will take longer to get to recommendations. In the other hand, all the movies that you already have seen will still appear in your recommendations although you have already seen them. The man in the video also said another very important thing. When the internet didn't exist, you had the news papers that provide you information. Those new papers give only one type of view, you didn't know the opinions of other people. The Filter Bubble does the same thing, only provides you one type of view, blocking you from the others. It isolates you.

2) This new privacy policy of Google is shortened to "Single User". Before this new policy, Google separate what you searched in Google, Youtube or what you saw most in Google +. Now with the new one Google, mixes the searches you do with their other web pages like Youtube. If a user of Google doesn't want this, you must have different Google account for every type of page that uses Google Accounts. This new policy is a Filter Bubble inside the different Google web pages.
