"Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/Using Us."

I believe that machines are not able to function at this point without a human to manipulate it. There is a whole lot of dependency from each other. At this moment people can make online websites, control search engines, and so on. I consider it as us due to the fact that many everyday things we do is somehow linked to technology. Communicating through high tech cell phones, texting, implementing technology in the education, etc. is a way to use the machine. There are so many ways to communicate with people all over the world that there is a point in time where there are wider options. It is no longer that a person is only limited to only one. There are many search engines to provide the service a person needs, different ways to display important photos online, etc. The machine according to the video is changing and expanding. But without the humans being around, then all of this would not happen. The machine is to help people improve their lives and have plenty of accessibility to all individuals. The more everyone is different, the more variety there is for the machine. Of course we also know that the machine was invented by humans and thus we know how to manage it to our advantage. But now the majority of the people seem to act as though they can't live an everyday life without a machine. As long as the machine is used at a positive way, both the machine and humans can go as far as they want.
