I think the video links with "Anthem" really easy. We teach the computer something every time we post something or tag it, and think of all of the people posting and tagging right now. In Anthem the society learns what works and what dosen't work. And the society has evolved to be perfect and the computer is trying to learn how to be perfect.
In the video, it shows us that every time we post or tag something on a website the computer learns from us, so essentially we are the internet. This ties into the book “Anthem” because every time the society does something to Equality or his “brothers” Equality learns from them. If the society were to make a mistake like taking away individualism, Equality would learn from the society’s mistakes and give back individualism. Even though our computers make mistakes, we can correct them just like Equality can correct the society.
In this video it shows that everything that we do on the computer, (tagging, url, ect.) it learns what we do. In the book Anthem equality learns what and what not to do because of the people around him. This video relates to the the book because with everything we do, the computer learns, and with everything others do Equality learns
in the video it shows that all the things we do on the computer are recorded and the computer learns it from us doing it. I think this relates to "anthem" because every time people do something he learns them and he learns from society's mistakes and learns not to make them again and they can be fixed.
