Tools That Change the Way we Think

With all of the new advancements in media, technology, and the internet I have discovered that it is a lot more tempting to take the easy way out or the lazy rout when it comes to getting answers. Rather than trying to think my way through a problem or trying to truely research something down to the finer points, I choose to type the first three letters of a word that is meaningful to my search and then let the media, technology, and internet do the rest. It is way faster and much more simple to accomplish a search that way. The truth is that I had no idea that doing things that way was only giveing me a small percent of the whole. Now that I know how the concept of a filter bubble works I feel that it is important to inform my self of all the information that is truely their.
