why do we value technology more than paper.
wierd
what is the point?
machines
everytime we click we teach the machine something

In "machines are using us" by Michael Wesch i think what matters is the affect technology has on the way people act and do things. Without technolgy and the tools that the web provides for us we would have to do everything on paper and we would not have access to any of the information that is online that people can currently easily access. If we did not have the technology that we do right now it would be harder to get accurate information, do research and many other things that we take for granted right now. It is interesting to think what is the machine, and what is the user because these days, people depend on the machines almost as much as the machines need us to work. In your everyday routine i bet there are not more than five things that do not require technology. So it could be that the machines now control us and our lifestyles and i think that is the issue that matters in this video.
