Nguyen’s essay assumes that echo chambers are not productive and that those who find themselves trapped in echo chambers should do what they can to escape. Are there any positive consequences of echo chambers? If yes, what are they? If no, why not? In his essay, Nguyen addresses those who dispute the very existence of echo chambers: “There’s also been a rash of articles recently arguing that there’s no such thing as echo chambers or filter bubbles” (par. 20). Can you imagine any other causes — beyond echo chambers — of what Nguyen describes as the “current informational crisis?"
