The Machine is Us/ing Us

This video was very interesting! I always used to think of how the Internet works and how people can do so many things online, but I never thought of it this way. The title of the video "The Machine is Us/ing Us" can mean two different things. The machine is us or the machine is using us. We created the machine (Internet) and all the different types of things it can do. We can also think on the terms that the machine is using us to get smarter and smarter with all the new programs we invent .

Web 2.0 affects someone who is ready to enter the workforce by allowing one to utilize the resources provided by Web 2.0 to find a job. Also, people who enter into the workforce must be efficient with the tools that Web 2.0 provides because everything is starting to rely on using Web 2.0.

Web 2.0 affects someone who is already in the workforce by making them cope with the changes in business due to the utilization of Web 2.0 and those people must adapt to the change in learning how it works and all the functions that Web 2.0 provides.

Toward the end of the video, it mentions that we must rethink everything. To me this means that we will have to now start thinking in the ways of Web 2.0. This means that every simple task we do can might someday be able to be made even simpler by Web 2.0. We rely on Web 2.0 for many things already. There is no way in preventing the take over of Web 2.0, so we must rethink on how to change our lives around the new ideas of Web 2.0.
