Wonderful 10 minute TED talk on how Facebook, Google, and others are doing us a disservice by personalizing the things we see. This speaker points out that we are in danger of becoming a web of one when algorithms without deep ethical roots are used to determine what we want to know about. Great talk.
Born in mid 1947, I am a first-wave boomer who believes social media will bring about enormous changes in how businesses (especially large ones) are organized and get work done, as well as how businesses (of all sizes) engage with their customers/clients/patients, etc. I am also hopeful it will bring us closer to a much more participatory and just democracy. Sometimes I channel Pollyanna too.
