We Are The Machine

In the video The Machine is Us/ing Us just shows how much we use the Internet in our lives and share things about us without even realizing it. The computer is pretty much perfecting our every by making it better. For example, in the beginning it starts out with showing how different handwriting is compared to the computers text, and describes the handwriting to be “unlinear” and the says the digital text is more “move able, and more flexible. And overall better.”


I think that this video is much like the other video “A Vision of Students Today” because it mentions similar things about the technology today including the Web. the video talks about Web 2.0 and how the people are now connecting more by videos, pictures, and when doing that we are “teaching the Machine a new idea” like the video says, “and gives it an idea.” i think i was already concerned on how far technology is going but when i really try it for my self i change my mind and think it actually might be helpful. But really how useful are things? Better yet; How much technology is that necessary for our life? The demand is so high right now for new technology to make their lives easier whether its to make things smaller or to make things that will most likely make them lazier. People although say that technology is not that important though we need to have it to keep up with the teachers demands. I’m on the Internet every night because I'm asked to check websites and do on line quizzes,so i have to use computers.
