Description: Most people today rely on the Internet for information and as a research tool. We have assumed that the best resources - the most relevant or authoritative, those most representative of what is going on today - are going to show up on page one of the search results. We have assumed that the search I conduct will result in the same result as the search that you conduct. New algorithms are tailoring search results to our past behavior, resulting in our being shown what the tool thinks we want to see, rather than a more objective list of what is available on the topic. Includes references to help you understand and think through the implications of these algorithms for our use of the Internet
