在谷歌，这样的政治谜只是数字而已

[align=left][font=Tahoma,]“谷歌对猜想我们想要搜索结果的狂热追求已经产生副作用：该公司呈现总统候选人的结果存在差异。一个华尔街日报的试验表明其搜索引擎为最近搜索过‘奥巴马’的人定制结果，而没有为最近搜索过‘Romney’的人定制结果。”这是确认偏见。确认偏见已经是世界上造成很多问题的心理因素之一了----我们真的不希望技术公司让这个现状更糟糕。技术----更准确的说，网络----应该抵制这种偏见，而不是肯定它。[/font][/align]

[font=Tahoma,][font=Tahoma,][img=32,32]http://www.osnews.com/images/icons/28.gif[/img]"Google's quest to guess what we want before we want it has produced an unusual side effect: a disparity in the results the company presents about the presidential candidates. [color=#0550]A Wall Street Journal examination found that the search engine often customizes the results of people who have recently searched for 'Obama' - but not those who have recently searched for 'Romney'." A confirmation bias' wet dream, this. The confirmation bias is already one of the root psychological causes of much of the problems in the world as it is - we really shouldn't have technology companies make it worse. Technology - and more specifically, the internet - should fight this bias, not affirm it.[/font][/font][/color]
