"The Machine is Us/ing Us"

By watching this video, the opinions given on the web and Internet correlate with the title "The Machine is Us/ing Us." The title means that by the population using the Internet so much in the business, social, and personal world that we are teaching the machine new things made by us which creates the Internet. The term "Web 2.0" can be defined as how the world wide web is changing the original creativity of people to be dependent upon it.

These trends and fads of the Internet affect someone entering the workforce because the employees need to know about the new and innovative capabilities and extreme communication evolutions between worker and client. The Internet for many businesses is a major platform and companies are looking for intelligent people who are able to work with the Internet to increase business because this new form of communication is quickly reaching all people.

The Internet is affecting people who are already in the workforce because they have to teach themselves or take classes about the different connections and "links" of the Internet and how our population is fueling the information put on the world wide web.

The Internet makes us "rethink everything" because as we learn more about links, websites, and computers we first input our own information and opinions which we are unsure of where to stop our judgements to feed the growing machine. Second, our ideas can be somewhat stolen or plagiarized since it is put to where everyone can see it. Third, we have to rethink what information is true, false, or outdated that people put on the web.

People have become very dependent on the Internet and the information and communication that it entail, as if we are trained as machines.
