Problems in sources of information

Society advances when information goes faster from brain to brain.

Those are the identified problems with the information we currently consume:

• No source of information is given
• Facebook Google and other companies are keeping us in information bubbles
• There are better features in some channels for example Google News understands better than Google search
• Recommenders are opaque systems
• First, corporations do not want to divulge how they recommend.

• Secondly machine learning models are difficult to understand because you human categories are not the same as machine categories and we do not have words to describe them.

• There's a lot of noise and quantity.

• There's a lot of so-called influencers or expert just throwing information.
• Quantity is more important than quality and becomes the sole KPI to maximize.
