As children
during the “Most Wonderful Time of the Year”, letter would go out to Santa.
Asking for things they would want for Christmas. As for me I did not believe in
Santa, our house did not even celebrate Christmas to that extend. Also to
be honest I do not believe I would know what I want as a child, or even now.
However, I do not have to for I have something better than Santa and it is called
the Internet.
Unknowingly right now the Internet
doing a task many of us are not aware of. Whether, it is searching vacation
spots, or recipes. The Internet is catering to us. The Internet is picking and
choosing what it considers fitting for us. Things from friends on your news
feeds, to Googling simple task, all have the Internet in the back providing this.
Even though you may not want this. Having the Internet do such task stop you
from viewing certain things unknowingly. It like placing you in a special
bubble stated in this video Click Here.
Which indirectly lock you off from the other part of the world that is not
similar to you. Blocking us from other views and ideas narrow our knowledge of
things; does not help us advance as humans. In other articles Click Here and Click Here this also connected with friends. Having close friend
can let the conservation last for hours because they know what you want and
how you want information to be delivered. As for having casual acquaintances you get to receive new information, yet
you may not talk to your acquaintances as much as your close friends. Personally
it is a good and a bad thing when the internet is playing Santa, of course you
want thing that interest you to pop up however you should want things that disagree
with your thoughts. So in the end you should have a choice whether or not you want to click on
the link or keep scrolling.
