The Machine Is Us

The machine is us? The machine is using us? How crazy does this sound, a computer is using us? We have created a technology that is transforming and growing faster than anyone perceived and it is starting to take somewhat over the world. When the title says the Machine is us I think it is referring to or dependence of it. The video said every other second a blog is born. That is startling and shows how much we use and depend on these things. On the other hand when the title refers to the Machine is using us, I think what it is trying to say is how the machine learns from us and we teach it things everytime we use it, so therefore it is using us to get smarter and gain more power. It is referring to the theories that one day computers will literally manage everything in our everyday lives, like basically we will become computers or something. It is scary to me because sometimes I just can't stand the thought of technology addiction. I think if someone knows how to use the web 2.0 either before they work or if they do work already it will for sure be beneficial for them. This is because like I said we are so dependent on computer and that especially goes for companies.
