The same principles are now applying to news services, who check which stories are going viral and create more stories around the same topic what is alluring (sex, violence, scandal) may not be the same as what is important. Nobody is going to "like" a story about floods in Thailand. Ne interesting pic I saw from a Chinese friend on Facebook showed a black couple posing almost naked with Thieir sextuplets. Not one Chinese person " liked " the image, only people with western surnames. Chinese people don't like dark skin, nor dark skinned people. The filter bubble means they may not be exposed to images of people with black skin. It is already almost impossible to find such images in Chinese media and advertising.<br /><br /><br />The book is well worth reading.Marcus T.

I'm still so impressed every day when I wonder about something and can get an answer within seconds whereas not so long ago, in my lifetime, it would've meant a trip to the library where I often got distracted. I get distracted on the internet, too, but there's no comparison.<br /><br />Frankly, I am more concerned about governments taking control of the internet, monitoring us,blocking sites, and repressing the free search for information. Marcus, I'm sure you have experienced that in China and you must see that as the greater danger than a 26-year-old entrepreneur playing in the Digital Age. - RobTrish and Rob MacGregorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02846270474176860924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686500107282182587.post-19377577698876575992011-10-13T21:38:35.373-07:002011-10-13T21:38:35.373-07:00Thanks Gypsywoman, will write more soon...Thanks Gypsywoman, will write more soon...Marcus T.
