Abstract [en]

We  are increasingly turn to social media for our news consumption two related media phenomenon that influence media consumption are the “Echo chamber” and “Filter Bubble”. Echo chamber this the phenomenon that we tend to have conversation only with those that has the same likeminded as we do while Filter bubble is created by Social media and information retrieval technology that tends to priorities showing us things it already know we like.

The aim of this thesis is to suggest design solution for social media that may counter the effect of “Echo chamber” and “Filter Bubble”. The precise method used on this thesis is play centric design method and both intermediate and final evaluations were done through qualitative evaluation.

At the end a design solution of Viewlette game were presented. It can be concluded that the suggested design solution may have the tendency to counter the effect of Filter bubble and Echo chamber on social networking site by enabling people that has conflicting points of view to still listen to each other and understand an argument from different perspective.

Abstract [sv]

Som vi i allt högre grad vänder  oss till sociala medier för vår nyhetskonsumtion, två besläktade medier fenomen som påverkar mediekonsumtion är "Ekokammare" och "Filter Bubble". Ekokammare är fenomen där vi tenderar att ha samtal endast med dem som har samma intresse som vi själva, medan Filter bubbla skapas av sociala medier och informationssöknings teknik som tenderar att prioriteringar och visar oss saker man redan vet att vi gillar.

Syftet med denna avhandling är att föreslå konstruktionslösningen för sociala medier som kan motverka effekten av "Echo kammare" och "Filter Bubble". Den exakta metod som används på denna avhandling är att spela centrerade designmetod och både den mellanliggande och slutliga utvärderingen som görs genom kvalitativ bedömning.

I slutet presenterades en designlösning av ”Viewlette”- spelet. Man kan dra slutsatsen att den föreslagna designlösningen kan ha en tendens att motverka effekten av “Filter bubble” och “Echo chamber” på nätgemenskap, genom att människor som har motstridiga synpunkter fortfarande lyssna på varandra och förstå ett argument från olika perspektiv.
