How has technology had an impact on how we browse, search and filter data and information? Note down some ideas first, adding to your t-chart before this
a. In groups of 4, conduct the following internet search, "Victor Orban European Union". Do this twice; once on the same search engine and once where you all use different search engines. Compare your results and note down the differences. Can you explain them?
b. Watch this and note down ideas that add to your explanation of the above.
2. Read AI Created Filter Bubbles. Now it's helping to fight them
(notice at the top of the article a “reading time” is included. How does this link to our previous lessons?)
Add ideas to your T-chart as you read.
3. Consider the following questions and note down your ideas.
How are our perspectives being influenced by AI and technology? And if our perspectives shape the way we understand the world, what is technology’s role in creating our worldview?
4. Listen to the NYTimes podcast, Wrongly Accused by an Algorithm (28 minutes)
(You can also read the original article - it would be interesting to hear how you understand the information differently through the different media). Add notes to your t-chart.
