Researchers Halpin and Monnin (2016) argue that in order for the web to be truly decentralized, widespread algorithm literacy is necessary to truly empower internet users with the ability to access information beyond the lens of Google or Apple. They state, “Rather than a valence of description of the world or a technique for controlling the world, it would be far better to think of algorithmic thinking as yet another capacity that can be developed and nurtured in future generations, “ (p. 12). ^c1029b If the practice of teaching younger generations how to use algorithms for personal knowledge collection were to become more common, I wonder about how this would affect epistemological gaps between generations. # References Halpin, H., & Monnin, A.
