I was shocked to watch the TED talk by Eli Pariser on “filter bubbles.” I did not know that two people could search for the same term and receive completely different results. After watching this video, I will become more aware of how the information on the Internet is being filtered for me by digital gatekeeprs, algorithms that determine what I can and cannot see. Pariser (2011) calls them the “invisible algorithmic filters” that are in social media and on search engines. I appreciate that Pariser (2011) uses the TED forum to call directly upon those who are in control of these algorithms, asking them to take greater responsibility.

The filter bubble clearly plays into the hands of marketers, who know how to reach their target audiences directly through the algorithms.
Unfortunately, the filter bubble affects the hits I receive performing regular Google and Google Scholar searches. This means that I might not have access to all the information I need, even if that information is not scholarly in nature.

The second thing I will do will be to delete my cookies and web history, but only after I am done researching something. The reason being, if I need to retrieve a search history, I might want that data. Third, I will start using the “do not track” option in the future.
Popping the filter bubble in all areas of online behavior is important. The filter bubble impacts what we search for in every instance, restricting the hits we see to ones that Google things are relevant rather than what we want to see. Basically, the algorithm takes…

One of the problems in using a literature review format is that by grouping studies together, it is difficult to come to a clear conclusion regarding the superiority of one treatment over another, given that all of the studies have extraneous or additional factors that do not necessarily apply to the core clinical question.
