Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So imagine that you had\Nyour smartphone minituarized
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and hooked up directly to your brain.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you had this sort of brain chip,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you'd be able to upload and download\Nto the Internet at the speed of thought.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Accessing social media or Wikipedia\Nwould be a lot like --
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,well, from the inside at least --
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like consulting your own memory.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It would be as easy\Nand as intimate as thinking.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But would it make it easier\Nfor you to know what's true?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Just because a way\Nof accessing information is faster
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,doesn't mean it's\Nmore reliable of course,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it doesn't mean that we would all\Ninterpret it the same way.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It doesn't mean that you would be\Nany better at evaluating it,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in fact you might even we worse
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because, you know, more data,\Nless time for evaluation.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Something like this is already\Nhappening to us right now.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We already carry a world of information\Naround in our pockets,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it seems as if the more information\Nthat we share and access online,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the more difficult it can be
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for us to tell the difference between\Nwhat's real and what's fake.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's as if we know more\Nbut understand less.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, it's a feature of modern like,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I supposed,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that large swaths of the public \Nlive in isolated information bubbles.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're polarized not just over values\Nbut over the facts,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and one reason for that\N
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that the data analytics\Nthat drive the Internet
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get us not just more information\Nbut more of the information that we want.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Our online life is personalized,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,everything from the ads we read
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the news that comes down\Nour Facebook feed
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is tailored to satisfy our preferences.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so while we get more information,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a lot of that information ends up\Nreflecting ourselves
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as much as it does reality.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It ends up,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inflating our bubbles rather\Nthan bursting them.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so maybe it's not surprise
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we're in a situation --
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a paradoxical situation --
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thinking that we know so much more
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and yet not agreeing\Non what it is we know.
