The Web is becoming us.

To me the article was an intruduction to the the video "The Machines are Us/ing us. The article explained how the internet and technology have changed the way we write and think. The video showed how we have our own online world where we change the way writing is thought of.
This video and article have showed me how the web is not just a source of information anymore, it is a link between people and worlds. The whole globe would be mass chahos without the web. Web 2.0 is getting deeper into peoples lifes. Now days people dont just write something on the web for school or for work. People are taking time and working very hard just because they want to prove a point or help someone out. For instance people get on the internet and recap a tv show they just watched or do a video game walk through not because they have to but because they want to. When people get on the internet their writing improves because they are writing for a worldwide audience not just there english teacher. Its funny to me how people will be at school saying how much they hate to write. Then go home and post a new blog or comment on someones myspace. This says though that web2.0 is making people want to write. Writing on the computer is fun when compared to pencil and paper. With so much writing being done on the web, new forms of writing are being born. All of these things lead up to the history of writing being changed forever, web2.0 is about people communicating and understanding new things. We are the machine.
