The Machine is Us/ing Us



wowwww!!!!

This video was really interesting about the machine...
in my view nowadays computer and internet are absorbing us because as in the video said each day millions and millions of people access to a web page to search something or just for fun.

I think machine is absorbing us, because we need and use it for everything, it can be with a professional, learning or searching purpose, however, we use it constantly for social purposes like make a social chat room, to play, to upload photos, videos or something to internet.

Adult people think that for the new generations of teenagers computer is a kind of addiction that can affect their behavior. We can notice that because is too common that we use to spend a lot of time in front of the computer doing many things living in a cybernetic space that when we see the entire day has gone.

This video has taught me many things that I have not seen because I am one of the
addict people to the machine.
