Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us by Michael Wesch is a video post on YouTube about anthropology. During this video, Michael Wesch expressed the use of technology and how many opportunities open up just because of it. It showed, not told us the definition of technology, which is defined as the application of tools and methods. The foremost purpose of this video is to present to the people that we are the web; we are the machine.
After observing the video Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us by Michael Wesch, I had various thoughts. At the beginning of the video, there was a pencil and a paper. Someone was writing sentences down, but the point was that he couldn’t do what he could of done with technology, like linking websites, bloggers, or just about anything. Technology creates so many possibilities for us in the future and in the present. Right now, we can search for jobs, learn new content, the sky is the limit with technology. It also enables us to connect and collaborate, which can lead to products, solutions, and new information. If I thought about the time I was at the age of seven and think about the age I am now, there have been so many more ways to be capable of doing what you want or need to do, quickly and efficiently. Technology continues to progress and every year we discover and create something new. More and more people are learning the twenty-first century ways and educating others about it; as the video put it, “The machine is us.” Technology is almost like another language with all different symbols that mean different things like <p> as a structural element referring to “paragraph.” We are constantly creating, discovering, and learning. The web assists us to make all the knowledge easier to understand and enhances our knowledge worldwide.
