The Digital Elites
I’ve just finished reading an article from the BBC.
It would appear that we use the web through filters and the most pervasive of the filters are the search engines. This quote from the BBC article is kind of disturbing; “The search engine works on a principle of the “madness” or “wisdom” of crowds, basing its results on which websites receive the most links to their pages.”
If that is true then it leads me to believe that without change the web will deteriorate into something akin to our crappy TV. I’m hoping that the web will continue to evolve and that our filters improve.
