After reading the three articles "The Other Side is Not Dumb" by Sean Blanda, "How to Break Out of Your Social Media Chamber" by Christopher Seneca, and "The Problem Living Inside Echo Chambers" by N. Chi Ngyuen all touched on how Echo Chambers and Bubbles are places where only one opinion is welcomed and it circles out of control. After reading "The Other Side is Not Dumb" by Sean Blanda, it made me look at how bias people can be. I experienced this with our current election. People have one view and are ignorant to other viewpoints. The author discusses "false Consensus bias" which states that we believe that everyone is like us. We also see this in social media circles.
