By Jamie McKenzie

The power of Google to steer us toward useful information is impressive and undeniable, but a number of commentators are warning that this steerage has a dark side. In this excerpt from his new book, Jamie suggests ways to help students pierce what Eli Pariser is calling the "Filter Bubble" in The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You (Penguin Press, 2011).
