"The Machine is Us/ing Us"

I found this video to be very eye-opening, it shows how we as a society have evolved from writing on a piece of paper and having to erase our mistakes to digital text. With didgital text we can change it, move it around, put links and pictures in it, the possibilities are endless. It show how us as a society have evolved over the last half century. People across the globe can gather, send, collaborate on information, we're able to communicate in a whole other light. We can go on the internet and put anything we want, we can revise, change information. We create the web into what it is today, the web is also a place we seem some what addicted to. We are quick to steal others ideas and call them our own, we as society need to rethink a few things: ethics, privacy, authorship, copyright. Because on the "Machine," everything is out in the open and free; we should put limits.
