The Machine (Us)

Michael Wesch’s video, “Web 2.0 … The machine is Us/ing Us“ was interesting. It explained, described, and showed the Web 2.0 today. How it works and how it’s changing. It told how we are the Web 2.0.
Ever since the internet was created we have being modifying it and creating it in to the Web 2.0 we know today. We create websites, put up videos, pictures, create accounts, and more. As time goes on we teach “the machine” more and more; how to do things easier and more efficient. The video shows us that we are the machine. We make up and form the Web 2.0. It’s all of us linking and joining together in tons of ways. While more people are using the web more often, don’t you wonder if it’s always a good thing? Yes, it’s easier but at what point will technology become too much a part of our lives? Will having this easy, efficient way of doing things make us lazy? Maybe, but this won’t stop people from working on it. The Web 2.0 is changing the world or you could say WE are changing the world.
