This movie made me think about how technology has made our lifes differnt. We can use computers for numerous things. We can use it for omunication, video sharing, education, entertainment, virtually anything. We can use computers for homework, translating languages, and studying. As you can see technology has improved our lives.

this video made me think about what the internet does and how the internet is made up by everyone we all contribute to the internet.

why did we invent something that could be taught, and what would happen if we teach it to much?

It made me think about how big the web is and what all you can find on it.

This movie showed us how advanced we are in technology and what is still possible through it. i liked the part that told us that we are helping the machine or teaching the machine and i agree with it because we pretty much are each time we advance in technology.

What i liked about this movie is because it made me realize how much we use the computer. It also showed me that we have many things on the Internet that can help us in the long run.

This video made me think about how much we use the computer these days. It also makes me wonder what life was like without it. I use the computer almost everyday, without it i would be so bored and i wouldn't be able to get most of my homework finished.

I think that the video covered a lot of points. One of the main ones said that we are the web. I think thats interesting because the more you think about it, the more you see how true it is. We're so absorbed by technology and the Internet, that we rely on it on a day-to-day basis.

This video clip has virtually changed our lives, think of 10, 20, 30 years from now. what will it be like then? We can do practically everything on the web from communicating with people 1 minute from you or 15 hours from where you are. You can share and collaborate numerous ideas in text, video, and pictures. The web has helped us but also pulled everyone into it, and we can't always rely on it.

The machine is using us video made me realize how often people all over the world use computers and the internet. Our lives would be completely different without machines in our lives. Some day machines may become smarter than we will ever be.

This clip showed me how much we relay on computers. We use facebook to keep up with friends or youtube to just look at cool videos. On blogger people share their views, and if we didn't have all of that how would we connect or find information.

This video made me think about the dangers technology is bringing. We are exposed to so many things it could be hazardous. It also made me thing about how different our lives would be. Without technology showing text, facts, videos, information, pictures, links and many more; i have concluded we would not be as civilized as we are today.

This movie/ video thing made me think alot about how much the tecnology in the world has changed us. We can do anything we want to on the web. I think the video went really fast though. And it was also really odd. But it was cool and made me think.

The video about "us in the machine" makes me feel like computers are becoming more smarter and advanced then the human race and makes me feel kinda nervous on all the what ifs. Like what if one day technology becomes so powerful that it takes over the word and humans are no longer in control. But its kinda sad to see how much we depend on the internet even though it helps a ton.

We really are the machine, and the machine learns from experience. Thats truly scarring me, heck were using the machine right now. The Internet is made and controlled by us.

abby bockenkamp said...

if we created something that we have to teach, then whats the point? everybody sayd in a thousand years that a computer will be more capable than the human brain, but will it ever get that way if its only being fed information BY human brains?

Matt E. said...

This made me think about how technology has changed and improve over time. This also made me think of how we use this technology everyday and we don't even realize what we are using.

Lindsay W. said...

This video makes me think about how advanced technology has become in a short time. Like computers. Every year there is always new technology and programs that are useful to the computer that we didn't have a few years ago. We improve technology as it improves our lives. People can use computers for numerous things that are both useful and entertaining. Technology still is advancing and peoples' lives are still being improved because of it.

I believe that the video shows how much the world uses the web and much we depend on it. Even though we built the web, it is bigger and stronger and smarter than us. The web doesn't have its own brain and yet it can outdo us in more ways than one.

ErikaK said...

The movie really made me think about where technology is going. For example, you can almost do anything on the web these days; like look up the answer to a question and other information. BUt who put it up? Is it the real information? You can never know if it is the real deal or just some random information. Maybe next year anybody in the world may be able to post something on line. Then how will we rely on it. I agree that we have to rethink the web.

SaSha M said...

this video made me think of how we are on the computer most of the day and how we rely on the computer for alot of thing. it also made me think how it takes away from our learning if we can get an answer with the click of a button. i agree with wesch's video because we do need to rethink it.

BrittanyJ said...

Wesch's short video about "us in the machine" made me think about how much we actually use the internet to post what we know and how we think. The things that humans can do with technology today is outstanding. With all the things that happen today technology is probably one of the most advanced. And it's kind of suprising to me

Madisonw said...

This video really made me think about what an impact technology has made on us and how different our lives would be with out it.

Allie Sutterer said...

I think that our world is highly influenced by technology and sometimes it can be a bad thing because we get too caught up in the digital world sometimes but the world would be a much different place without technology. Its weird to think that in just a couple of years technology will be so much more advanced. It seems like we are doing just fine now without the future inventions but someone always thinks of a more effcient and better way to accomplish everyday things. There is never an end to technology advances.

KymS said...

This short clip made me think about how the things that we do online can really affect us and our personal lives. Also, it made me think about how much we rely on technology and about how we're quickly advancing our studies and coming up with new inventions everyday. It almost seems like we're not safe on the Internet, no matter what site we are on.

Peyton M. said...

I never knew that there was so many things can be changed in the internet, I mean the things that the world has been able to put out and actually change and reflect on is really different and it's going to change how the world will put new things out on the internet. Like for instance Wiki, anyone, anywhere can change anything about what a true author has already written or take something the someone has already written. OR someone can steal things from one another and then there are ways to change them. Its so odd to see how different the world has changed with internet, But i do agree. We do need more safety. Although i didn't quite understand what the movie was putting out, I still think there is a new way of machines....

The video we watched showed me that technology isn't really that advanced just as advanced as we want it to be, that we can achieve anything and make any type of statement we want that isn't disgracing ourselves.
