Eli Pariser: Beware online “filter bubbles” – an important TED talk to Educators
A few days ago I inadvertently allowed Google to install GooglePlus on my Galaxy tablet. As the installation has been completed, I realized that Google started forcing me to see the news and the links that it believed were important for me.
