Machines are Using Us!

In Michael Weschs video "Machines are using us" he talked about how machines are getting far more complex, and are getting easier to use, and how every time we click on something we are teaching the machine. For example, when you click on a link to something on the Internet, it saves every click to a folder called "History", and "Cookies" and also passwords and some other private information. With that being said, this can also lead to Viruses, if your computer ends up saving something harmful, another machine can sometimes go in and steal that information. The computer saves everything, and "learns" from what we learn. Is the Machine Us? Of course there's no limit to what some machines can do, most computers are capable of, email, Microsoft products or any other writing program for that matter, Internet, and Instant Messenger. His video explained into more depth how written text is linear, and how text on a machine can be way more flexible, and is more efficient to use. Machines also make it easier for contacting other people, like E-mail, and Instant Messenger etc. Also, the Internet can search for 1 million or more results for something you are trying to research in less than a second. It is also, a lot easier to keep in touch with people, and its way faster then sending a message through the mail, and it takes about a fraction of the time to write it too. With that, you don't have to spend time erasing, and spending money on new pencils and what not, because there's a great thing called the "backspace" key or "Delete" key. It’s also very neat, and can be very organized, that's great for people who can't do anything neatly, and for people who can't spell (like myself). Machines are always getting smarter, and pretty soon the world might be totally computerized, and everything will be all the way around easier to use.
