For our first assignment, we watched a youtube video entitled "the machine is us/ing us". This creative, and sometimes dizzying, video shows how the internet has exploded in what we can do with it.
We've gone beyond checking our email and looking at funny videos to having an average joe being able to share his ideas with the world and much, much more.
In watching this video, I realized how little I knew about the web, and how connected we've become with it. The video sums it up the best: we are the machine.

I felt just like you when watching the video.. The web is leaving me behind! I think the video did such a great job emphasizing the fact that "we are the machine" but I wonder if we start to abuse that power, what will the future of the web become?
ReplyDeleteThe web isn't leaving either of you behind. We won't let that happen, certainly!
ReplyDeleteCreating what happens will be a dizzying but exciting ride daily. Hang on. You'll be great.
