Here's an interesting 10 minute video from TED that shows how a lot of search 
engines taylor their results to what we've previously searched for.  This kind

only get to see what the search engines think we want to see, so we wind up 
seeing things that confirm our prior beliefs.  Could make for a good discussion 
on confirmation bias:
