QUESTIONING ANSWERS: how information diets shape our silicon curtains
In today’s digital age, we don’t just consume information—we’re fed it. This is crucial to understand. Algorithms on Social Media shape our news feeds based on engagement, not truth. The result? We’re served content that aligns with our existing beliefs, reinforcing them and filtering out dissenting views. This creates what some call an informational diet—a steady stream of content that shapes not only what we know, but how we think. This in turn creates silicon curtains – separating people not by borders, but by belief systems.
