Drawing Algorithms

An algorithm, drawn by a 21-year-old female bachelor student in Serbia.

I think I drew it graphically. You can write words if it's easier for you. Do not be ashamed, just draw, write, whatever. I think it's all connected in this circle. He takes, for example, this is all connected through my account. The Google account I have, or the whole phone has a base on that Google Account, and then it puts all that information into one database, a database that later gets used for other ones, for other social networks, and all that. And then, according to my most common searches and other things, it gives me the places I visit. On Youtube is sometimes a weird algorithm. It sorts out some videos that have nothing to do with my life. But these are mostly some related things, with all those social networks I use on my phone or computer, anyway. I just think it's connected through an account. For example, when I go on my Youtube account I have one thing, and when I go to my father's for example, it's all political shows. All in all, it's related. But I think that he and I will get some third information that is common to both him and me and which Youtube lets to go in it's algorithm as well as other social networks. And what is this in the middle? It's some sort of database. There are some circular information that go somewhere like those other places for example. Maybe more like a basket with a million items and what they extract at that moment. It's an algorithm. I mean, that's random. And how did you find out how algorithms work? So what do I know, something like this in practice, and at the college, we talked little about it. In class or? Like this. With friends? Yes, with my friends, but on the faculty, I mean, professors mention, there are different topics. What do I know, you mostly see it with an example. It's in practice that you see what it sorts you out, how it sorts you out. What are you studying again? Fonetics. But since I know, we have not yet reached it [the topic]. I mean, I know it happens sometime, now I take Youtube as an example, but there is a video that is recommended and which is 10 years old, when I enter it and into the comments, all the comments are a week ago or two days ago, everyone is wondering how it came to them. And so I think that sometimes Youtube mostly gives what...., sometimes inserts something randomly. And like this mostly. So that's something mixed up. Okay. Thank you very much.
