Answer:
When Pariser talks about 'information vegetables' and 'information dessert', he is talking about how filter bubble and alogrithm works.
Explanation:
Eli Pariser is an author of a book titled 'Filter Bubble.' The book talks about how filter bubbles on social media platform works. He works to make digital world and democracy work in harmony with each other.
In his TED talk, he spoke about the functioning of digital filters or filter bubbles that records our past search history and begins to show us content based on this past search history.
The digital filters shows us what we would want to see instead of what the internet, actually, should show us. Pariser argues that this digital filteration is actually making people isolated and contented within their comfort zone.
<u>When Pariser talks about 'information vegetables' and 'information dessert', he is trying to say that digital filter works to give us information that are more pleasing to us 'dessert' instead that are important 'vegetables.'</u>
For example, one may want to see the news (vegetables) but digital filter may show movie (dessert) suggestions.
