How can I prevent Google Talk from disconnecting?

How do I prevent my search results in Google from being curtailed by an algorithm? How do I ensure some measure of control over my search algorithms?

  • "You can't see how different your search results are from anyone else's... this moves us very quickly toward a world in which the Internet is showing us what it thinks we want to see, but not necessarily what we need to see. ....you take all these algorithms, you get what I call a filter bubble. And your filter bubble is your own personal, unique universe of information that you live in online. And what's in your filter bubble depends on who you are, and it depends on what you do. But the thing is that you don't decide what gets in. And more importantly, you don't actually see what gets edited out."  "What we're seeing is more of a passing of the torch from human gatekeepers to algorithmic ones. And the thing is that the algorithms don't yet have the kind of embedded ethics that the editors did. So if algorithms are going to curate the world for us, if they're going to decide what we get to see and what we don't get to see, then we need to make sure that they're not just keyed to relevance." see TED talk below for reference. http://www.ted.com/talks/eli_pariser_beware_online_filter_bubbles

  • Answer:

    There are two ways to see non-personalized results: 1. Click the globe button as in the screenshot below. It will disable personalized results for you. 2. You can sign-out of your account while searching, thus google has no history of your search or just open a tab in incognito mode (Ctrl+Shift+N in chrome)
