For example, on the internet, the concepts of Filter Bubble and Echo chambers are well known.
Filter Bubble pointed out that online advertising based on users¡® search and click history tends to provide information strongly connected to oneself. As a result, on the internet, one can easily be surrounded by information to which one¡¯s hobbies, tastes, and ideas are close. Moreover, Echo chambers mentioned that in the closed space of SNS, where users with shared empathy follow each other, one's thoughts and ideas are easily affirmed, leading to the illusion that one's ideas are correct. In other words, the internet environment makes it difficult to ensure diversity through connections built on ¡°shared empathy and values,¡± and new discoveries are hard to obtain.
Thus, new discoveries and values are unlikely to obtain through connections with shared values. |
