During class, the discussion of how Google gives you suggestions about what you are going to type came up. How this is based on elements of trust and neutrality. The more I was thinking about that, the more I agreed with it. I have always thought it was odd that Google would guess what I was thinking, but I never thought about how offensive it could be, if Google guessed wrong.
We also trust that Google will be correct in what they guess, and most of the time they are. Google isn't bias about what we like. They don't care about what side we agree on with controversial topics, they just give us what they know we would like. It is crazy that someone can come up with this algorithm, it blows my mind.
