The taste in times of algorithm
This is a translation of an article I read today.
On monday mornings, Spotify users receive a personalized song list that permits them to discover new music. In the same way that the recomendation systems of Amazon, Google, eBay or Facebook, this artificial brain gets a perfect sketch of their users'taste and builds a perfect machine of prescriptions that never fails. This system is based on an algorithm whose evolution and aplicated uses in cultural consume are endless. In fact, streaming platforms like Netflix start to plan succesful tv shows like House of Cards tracking in the big data generated by their users'movements to analize their preferences. The algorithm builds a fitted cultural universo that please the user's taste, that can move foward to recognisable places. But, what would it happen if life were always giving us those things we like and would surround us of those people who make us feel good?

In my life I underwent many different situations.
The one you are depicting now has yet to come.
I'm eager to do the experiment and, only later,
if I still feel like, (and this is a very big IF),
to tell you the result.
What about all the nice people sorrounding me?
(case 1) Are they doing that out of their own desire?
(case 2) Or would they folllow a plan set by somebody else?
I fear that (case 1) might be quite interesting but so hard to realize!
(case 2) would just bring us a dreadful world to live in.

"...sketch of their users' taste..."
I would avoid the double possessive with other structures: http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/280530/two-possessive-nouns-in-a-row
The text was well written.

The taste in times of algorithm (Preferences in the era of algorithms) (1)
On Monday mornings, Spotify users receive a personalized song list that permits/lets them to discover new music. In the same way that the recommendation systems of Amazon, Google, eBay or Facebook work/function, this artificial brain gets a perfect sketch of their user's tastes/preferences and builds a perfect machine of prescriptions system of recommendations that never fails. This system is based on an algorithm whose evolution and aplicated applied uses in cultural consumerism are endless. In fact, streaming platforms like Netflix plan to start to plan tracking successful tv shows like House of Cards tracking in the big data generated by their user's movements to analyze their preferences. The algorithm builds a fitted cultural custom social universe (2) that pleases/matches the user's tastes, that can move them forward to recognisable places. (3) But, what would it happen if life were always giving always gave us everything we like and would surrounded us of those with people who make us feel good?
(1) El gusto en la era del algoritmo
(2) In this context "universo cultural ajustado" is best translated as "custom social universe"
(3) I would suggest "The algorithm constructs a custom social universe that is pleasing to the user and guides them to familiar places"

Nice job Chelo. I happened to read the article in Spanish too and recognized it from your translation, so I was able to offer what I hope are some helpful suggestions!

well done ms chelo.it was great. To answer the question at the end of your article i'm going to say : i think it is our goals that make us to be hope about future and try to earn them and go head. if we have every thing that we want at one time,world will be ridiculous after that. imagine an old person who had done what he/she has wanted to did. he/she doesn't have any wish any more and he/she is living for nothing. for example yourself .you want to have a good job.house and.. get marriage have child and e.t. this wishes cause you try to go a head and with out then you fill gap in your life to be honest having all of things that we wish is very good. the best way to having good life and all our desire is life be more generous, give us our expectation in very easy way and step by step . human always need a target to continue their life which actuate them. i think this way. how do you think?? i don't know thank for your attention dear.
