Now is 2020,compare a decade,human have huge improvement in a area  about getting information. No need to buy a news paper or go to library looking for information,just go online and

search what you want . Later we also can watch news on social media while we making friends  with the person who have the same idea,same hobby. It is land of free you can post anything you like,share your thought, then you can find out other person who like you then become a group extending you circle of friends. When we are happy about social media bringing people together,but the on the other hand it is isolating us by what we want to hear and see.

People love to hear what to hear,see what they want to see. Our brain is a information filter,repel any information you are not interested. On the social media you can share your option,but  unlikely to convenience other who have the opposite idea,because  they dislike your idea and social medial for looking for people who share the same idea. No matter how,they can find the people share the same idea and get into a little group and support,repel the opposite idea.  At the end each group will be a comfort zone for people who like it and never move out,form an isolation between idea.
