Eli Pariser | Beware online “filter bubbles”
“As web companies strive to tailor their services (including news and search results) to our personal tastes, there’s a
dangerous unintended consequence: We get trapped in a “filter bubble” and don’t get exposed to information that could
challenge or broaden our worldview. Eli Pariser argues powerfully that this will ultimately prove to be bad for us and bad for
democracy.” (TED, March 2011).
Emma Watson| United Nations ‘HeForShe’ speech
British Actor and Ambassador for UN Women gave a speech about gender inequality, launching the ‘HeForShe’ campaign
