SOS – Save Our Serendipity, great article about the basic facts in serendipity, the vital elements clearly highlighted. Below one chapter from Miriam Meckel’s brilliant thinking:
“We, the creators of the Internet, are on our best way to banishing serendipity from our lives. But how high is the price we are paying? Are we exchanging a challenging but exciting life for a predictable but dull one? Our revolution against serendipity is a silent one, as it is our mere usage of the Internet that gives the algorithms of Google, Facebook & Co. the opportunity to calculate our preferences, interests, desires and our next steps, thus gradually banishing everything unexpected from our digital lifestyle.”
