the machine is us

That video really made me realize how far technology has come in so little time. It seems like the topics of discussion about our current time are always negative, whether its our economy, the war, or the gas prices rising. One things for certain though and that is our advancement in technology is fantastic. 

Web 2.0 is affecting everyone. We have more resources and communication techniques then ever before. Its allowing us to become more creative in everything we do. I just got done ichatting with my brother, and got to see and talk to my grandparents. They were blown away at the capabilities. It does come with consequences though. We must rethink everything we do online because it could come back and hurt us. For instance, facebook pages have been used to kick people out of school and even caught criminals. Its a new era, and everyone must adapt. Get on board or you'll be left behind.
