About book Il Filtro. Quello Che Internet Ci Nasconde (2011)
Well, if you want to be terrified about how the web is scooping information about us, stereotyping us, pigeonholing us, basically doing the opposite of what we thought the web was GOING to do for society, then read this book. At the very least, it helps become informed about exactly what we do when we surf the web. Nothing is safe online. Everything you do online is defining you in ways you never thought you'd be defined. Everything you do is hackable. The future is even worse in those respects. Lots of fun paranoia-inspiring information for the tech-savvy! Very interesting, somewhat scary book about the idea of the "filter bubble." What we see on the internet is based on what we click on- notice how you look at shoes on Zappos- and then when you go on Facebook, the same shoes show up? Using these filters, the internet shows you what you think you should see. What is happening is that you are now seeing only things that are familiar to you- and what "they" think you will be interested in. That leaves 95% of stories,material, and ideas being filtered from your view, leaving you with a very small view of the world.
