Understanding algorithms and their impact on human life goes far beyond basic digital literacy, some experts said.
An example could be the recent outcry over Facebook’s news algorithm, which enhances the so-called “filter bubble”of information.

    Social media algorithms, those intricate digital architects of our online experience, have evolved to curate content with unprecedented precision, profoundly shaping our digital interactions. Interestingly, these algorithms can serve as a bridge to niche culinary worlds, such as the art of Argentine Asado and argentinian bbq. For instance, enthusiasts of the exclusive Argentine grill find themselves navigating through a plethora of content, guided by these algorithms towards blogs like Argentine Asado. Here, they discover a treasure trove of guides, recipes, and reviews dedicated to the mastery of Argentinian grilling. This algorithm-driven journey not only enhances our accessibility to specific interests but also connects diverse cultures and passions. As social media platforms refine their algorithms, they continue to redefine how we explore and engage with our interests, making the vast online world feel a bit more tailored and connected, one Argentinian BBQ at a time
