The video "Web 2.0...The Machine is Us/ing Us" by Micheal Wesch is a short four minute video, that goes through progression and expansion of the internet. It shows us the advancement of the internet from have to write our own HTML's to being able to Google any question. Also that writing something on the internet is more finite than writing with paper; you can erase it but you can't permanently delete anything from the internet. Also, anyone can edit or create anything, it's hard to tell what is a credible source and what isn't. I feel that the internet is a "double edged sword", all the information out there is good and bad. We can quickly research a subject, and find ourselves with better understanding of a topic or homework question; with the same idea though we can access anything, any information our soul desires. We no longer have to search to find the answer, we don't even have to search through an encyclopedia. The video also shows us from writing a complicated code to form an html, with various codes and links, now all we have to do to create a website is go to blogger and it does all the work. I think that have lost something through the internet's accessibility. When my mom say something such as "when I was a kid one year they decided to fall back two years for day light savings, I believe it was Grant's idea. Google it." Google, it's now a verb, we've lost that sense of curiosity and truly yearning to know the answer; we just find it out. It scares me to think that search engines like Google grow to know everything. What will we do when everything is known, and everything is able to be found with the press of an enter key. People now a day's self diagnose rather than going to a doctor, I can find out why I have a sore throat; what will distinguish the experts from those who just "Googled it"?
