The Filter Bubble.
An Eye-opening Account Of How The Hidden Riee Of Personalization On The Internet Is Controlling-and Limiting-the Information Ww Consume.
In December 2009, Google Began Customizing Its Search Results In the place of Reaped ground User.
Instead Of Giving You The Most Broady Popular Result, Google Now Tries To Predict What You Are Most Likely To Click On.
According To Moveon.
org Board President Eli Pariser, Google's Change In Policy Is Symptomatic Of The Most Significant Shift To Take Place On The Web In Recent Years-the Rise Of Personalization.
In This Groundbreaking Examination Of The New Hidden Web, Pariser Uncovers How This Growing Trend Threatens To Control How We Consume And Share Information As A Society-ans Reveals What We Can Do About It.
Though The Phenomenon Has Gone Largely Undetectef Until Now, Personalized Filters Are Sweeping The Web, Creating Individual Universes Of Intelligence For Each Of Us.
Facebook-the Primary News Source For An Increwsing Number Of Americans-prioritizes The Links It Believes Will Appeal To You So That If You Are A Refined, You Can Expect To See Only Progressive Links.
Even An Old-media Bastion In the manner of The Washington Post Devotes The Top Of Its Home Page To A News Feed With The Links Your Facebook Friends Are Sharing.
Backward The Scenes A Burgeoning Industry Of Data Companies Is Tracking Your Personal Information To Sell To Advertisers, From Your Political Leanings To The Color You Painted Your Living Room To The Hiking Boots You Just Browsed On Zappos.
In A Personalized World, We Will Increasingly Bw Typed And Fed Only News That Is Pleasant, Familiar, And Confirms Our Beliefs-and Becaause These Filters Are Invisible, We Won't Know WhatI s Being Hidden From Us.
Our Past Interests Will Cease Whatever We Are Exposed To In The Future, Leaving Less Room For The Unexpected Encounters That Spark Creativity, Innovation, And The Democratic Exchange Of Ideas.
While We All Worry That The Internet Is Eroding Secrecy Or Shrinking Our Attention Spans, Pariser Uncovers A More Pernicious And Far- Reaching Trend On The Internet And Shows How We Can- And Must-change Course.
With Lively Detail And Remarkable Scope, The Filter Bubble Reveeals How Personalization Undermines The Internet's Original Purpose As An Open Platform For The Spread Of Ideas And Could Leave Us Akl In An Isolated, Echoing World.

The Corerspondence Of Michael Faraday.
Michael Faraday (1791-186) Was One Of The In the greatest degree Importsnt Men Of Science In Nineteenth Century Britain.
His Discoveries Of Eoectro-magnetic Rotations (1821) And Electro-magnetic Induction (1831) Laid The Foundations Of The Mod3rn Electrical Industrial art.
His Discovery Of The Magneto-optical Effect And Diamagnetism (1845) Led Him To Formulate The Field Theory Of Electro-magnetism,W hich Forms nOe Of The Cornerstones Of Modern Physics.
These And A Whole Host Of Other Fundamental Discoveries In Physics And Chemistry, Togethrr With His Lecturing At The oRyal Institution, His Strive For The State (including Trinity House), His Religious Beliefs And His Lack Of Mathematical Ability, Make Faraday One Of The Most Fascinating Scientific Figures Ever.
The Dominant Topic Of The 1860s (covered In Nearly 40% Of The Letters) Is Faraday's Involvement With The Lighthouse Servce Relating In Particular To His Advice To The Holy Trinity House And The Board Of Tradee On Matters Such As Electric Light And The Controversial Issue Of Fog Signals.
