Well ..WE are Stuck !

Today I just thought I can Give it a try and read your Mind...I may not be accurate but Will try to do my best..

Have you been seeing more of  advertisements on the products you're interested to buy lately?

I mean, on the websites you visit frequently ?

Ah, wasn't my reading close enough?

 Well...Let me spill the beans, it wasn't my Mind reading skill 

but it was your Filter Bubble Cookies Tracking Process On it's own will! 

There are ample of ways through which the Filter Bubble Comes into Picture, it may be manually done by you for your personalization of content ...Or ...Do you remember clicking on "Accept Cookies" Option while entering The site For the first time Uh? 

When you visit a site for the first time a cookie is downloaded onto your computer Which keeps a track on how you travel around the site and exactly what you do. The next time you use the same site again your computer will check the cookies and adapt, depending on the information it stored from your last visit. So, without even thinking about it, we give out a lot of information that can then be used to personalize our online experience.

Now let me dive right into the matter. Have you heard of Eli Pariser ?

 An Internet activist who was trending on twitter not so long ago. Its note worth that he authored a book called  The Filter Bubble..

He likens ‘the filter bubble’ to an ecosystem and he claims it is something we should all be worried about. After reading his book and watching his talk, I think it’s something you should all know about too..

Here's  his interview on Filter Bubble If you're interested to know more!

This is something more than Privacy..

This filter Bubble gets even more Malign when its used to filter news and ongoing current affairs...With or without your knowledge.

This filters the news according to our needs and interests and totally blocks you off from actual reality as its busy in providing news stuff that your in support of..

In today's world Misinterpretations has led to lot of Time waste and unwanted deliberations..

Ultimately, it’s the websites and apps who choose what information we can and can’t see.

This Filter Bubble Euphemistically calls its feature "Personalization" ..

Apparently, I wonder it should be Called "Isolation"{of Information}.

Only thing that we can do to prevent Distortion is to refer other legitimate sites and stay aware of such potentially Malicious Software..
