This is just tangential personal reflection but I feel like at every stage in my life I've been in some kind of bubble. Bubbles come and go depending on my environment and life experience. Being situated on a university campus, mostly insulated from the concerns of the real world and free to exercise the curiosities of youth -- that was probably my first big bubble. I had no access to or understanding of the concerns of most people working to make a living or raising families. Similarly I can think of periods of time when I was in a bad relationship, or stuck at a menial job. My day-to-day experience constitutes a filter bubble, and I don't even think it's good or bad. I feel like the media bubbles under discussion are symptomatic of a larger cultural malady in which our experience, our own personal bubbles, are so confused and impoverished that we jump at any screen or soundbite just to have some medium through which to experience anything.
