hmm that sounds like a very interesting
article click here to find out how
renewable energy this destroyed flint oh
let’s find out how
[Music]
well this was a typical example of
rickrolling who here was actually
tempted to click on this link to find
out how using solar power on earth is
Krypton our beloved celestial snowball
Pluto
this type of clickbait article is fairly
common on social media advertisements or
artists most of you including myself
would ignore this ridiculous links but
you’d be surprised to see on how many
people are actually attracted to
misleading titles on social media social
media is not unexploited to me where
your friends simply share what they had
for lunch and what they bought from the
store you encounter a lot of different
materials ratings from advertisements
and news articles to political
statements according to Pew Research
Center 67% of Americans get their news
from social media and the other 30%
heavily rely on it as their primary
useless this is a 6% increase from 2016
and this trend is constantly growing it
is also important to note that only 10%
of social media users gain their
information from more than 3 sources it
is evident that a clear majority
encounters worldly perspectives from a
very limited number of sources while
this might be simple statistics and you
might wonder what is so bad about
getting news from social media the first
and most obvious answer is because
social media is a form of business it is
a business that feeds on our attention
we must remind ourselves that most
social media newspapers and commentators
are attention grabbers nowadays even
traditional news sources such as CNN use
eye catching headlines and exaggerations
the game as many followers a state
as quickly as they can I like to wager
that my Pluto clickbait dark pool would
be shared at least fifty times fifty
thousand times on Facebook but on a more
serious note here are some examples of
how any type of news can spread like
wildfire on July of 2016 assert a
satirical news website named WT o e5
published an article with the title Pope
Francis shops world endorses Donald
Trump for president releases statement
in the midst of confusion about whether
or not this was legitimate or wrong the
story was shared more than nine hundred
sixty thousand times on Facebook over
the fourth of five months to put this
into perspective twenty best-performing
election stories generated about 7.5
million shares during the election beat
of February to November now let’s
compare this with the 20 top performing
false election stories for my desert
circle Hawks or hyper party these these
medias generated over 8.7 million ships
surpassing legitimate news by over 1.2
million ships this phenomenon shows how
we are returning to the era of yellow
journalism a 19th century form of
journalism were sensational and vicious
headlines overpowered well recent forms
of journalism the question arises in the
midst of ever-increasing domination of
sensational media over cyberspace are
you able to say no and provide a voice
of reason this is when the filter bubble
phenomena comes into play a term first
point by internet activist al parecer
it is an intellectual phenomenon where
personalized search algorithms such as
Google personalized search were
Facebook’s newsfeed provides users with
information based on the analysis of
history click patterns and geographic
location while this was intended to
quickly provide personal information it
has isolated people from information
that disagrees with the users interest
confided them in an ideological bubble
and consequently preventing civic
discourse due to this online filter
bubble we are slowly losing the ability
to disagree with what we encountered
through social media we affluent
ourselves to political statements that
floor around cyberspace and are given no
subsequently we start to lose a middle
ground rather than having our own
distinct opinions we start to accept
social media news outlets as facts and
they can polarize to one side this lack
of communication the creation of one’s
own bubble brings forth identity
politics to social media users without
proper knowledge of the opposing
viewpoints we brand those who have a
different opinion from us as inherently
harmful less educated or flat-out wrong
rather than arguing against the others
arguments with well reasoned logic we
now label the opposition as bigots and
refuse to hear their opinions and
justification for their beliefs that is
why it is now crucial for us to practice
intelligent disagreement to what we
encounter in social media than ever
before rather than relying in a certain
source on social media to art but
augment our own opinions and create a
safe space for ourselves we should learn
to accept disagreement and reconsider
our perspective about the world
surrounding us it is time to navigate
beyond our own opinions and consider the
wider world outside the bubble here is a
good starting point start challenging
your own
by understanding what others say a lot
of certain topic if you support same-sex
marriage take some time to research
while others are casted if you’re
against we use 180 and believe that
fossil fuel is a fair alternative then
go on and read what the proposers of
reuse what energy has to say if you read
fox news starts foreign CNN and
vice-versa
don’t be guided under the hasty
misconception that what you believe
right now is absolutely correct because
our subjective opinions about worldly
matters are not absolute now let’s see
how we can effectively engage social
medias don’t just skim over headlines
take five good minutes of your time to
read through the comment section and see
what others have to say about the media
that you are about to read above the
silly comments there are plenty of
comments that seriously share their
opinion on the matter it won’t be easy
at first but we do them and see how
people interact with each other you’ll
be more to surprised to see how people’s
staunch beliefs are the bomb biologic or
witness house only people rely on name
calling and in-group bias to advance
their own arguments finally and the most
difficult step question what you read or
watch on social media before accepting
them as facts just because it has
illegitimate legitimate title it does
not mean that was written there is
factually true whether it be a product
of extensive investigative journalism or
a sensational news article that is based
on undergone appeals to simply grab
attention and swayed wholly opinion give
a second thought into whether or not
this is a well-reasoned factually
correct
your perspectives and arguments deserve
more than simply conforming to be a
slave to your Facebook newsfeed the most
intellectual and creative points are
those who know how to disagree history
remembers those such as Galileo or
Mandela who faced others and stood up to
their dissenters rather than the
conformers who hid from disagreement
locking themselves in their own
perspectives with the increasing
domination of sensational bias social
media statements and people being
trapped inside their own ideological
bubble today is the high time to
overcome with social media and tends to
feed you and engage in intellectual
debate after all who would want cute
little Pluto to melt away for all
eternity thank you very much [Applause]
