The Machine is Using Us #5
-Written text is harder to manipulate than typed. Typed text can be deleted and replaced so easily when written text has to be erased and written over and you can tell that something was there previously.
-Most websites are created from html where there are lots of abbreviations that structure the page. I think how websites are made and how they come from just lots of text and symbols.
-The web is now linking people. Instead of us using links to go places, the links are now going to connect other people.
-We organize the data. We determine how it is designed on the computer and what we put on there.
-The machine uses us to organize it and to "sell" our data to others.
-The machine is us. It is composed of what we do and how we update without us, it wouldn't totally work. We make it up.
-I don't get what web 2.0 is. I've never heard of it.

I got kind of confused when I saw the video. Whoever or whatever it was that was doing it was doing a good job of confusing me. Then, I thought about the video. One word would get typed then another word - sometimes two words would be typed. Next, it would be researched, looked up, etc. It from one thing to the next. It is just so weird and interesting how the video did it.
