I always refer to my students' brains as their personal computer that can do just about anything a real computer can do. I believe that’s true even more now, after viewing the video “The Machine is Us/ing Us”. The title of this video explains how when we are using the internet, the internet is really using us, and that together man and machine are able to create this vast wealth of information by their interactions with one another.
In this video it shows clearly how every time a person uses the internet, something about the internet changes. It improves, it grows, new ideas are exchanged and developed, and as it changes, so do humans change. As both computers and humans grow and develop, the internet is going to increase in its capabilities. Most of the changes are helpful for businesses and education to improve, but I do wonder how this will all turn out. It seems a lot like science fiction at times, and I wonder if there will ever be a time when there are too many things going on on the internet. Just watching the video was almost too much to handle for these old eyes and brain!
