Filter bubbles are outside forces that affect the information we take in. But, there's also a lot of stuff going on in our own brains that influences the way we take in and interpret information. This is called confirmation bias.
I think we all suffer from filter bubbles. However I did not realize this was confirmation bias.
Self-driving cars
This has come a really far way already. Although when I was in elementary school I did think we would have flying cars by now.

Academic publishing is big business. These companies are making billions of dollars. You've undoubtedly been directly impacted by this; you've likely faced decisions on whether to buy a $100+ textbook that is required for a course
