Algorithms drive our online lives. They helps us connect with new friends and old, help us discover music we didn’t know we love, and connect with like-minded people all over the globe. Algorithms are tailored to the information that we give them, supposedly we choose how they work for us, but at some point they start to make choices for us in the name of convenience: our music, our news, etc. We become passive actors in the choices of our own lives. When does that happen? Are we aware of it when it does? And does this acquiescence to the trends of the day lead us towards more extreme views of the world rather than inclusive ones?
