The Machine is Us/ing Us - VIDEO CLIP

After viewing the video clip "The Machine is Us/ing Us" I think the title is trying to explain to us that things, specifically technology are changing because we are using it. The more we use something the more people are going to think of improvements to what we people are currently doing. The title is sort of pointing out that people have an increasing reliance on their computers because of the always changing features. Basically by using the computer the computer is actually in a way using us.

Web 2.0 affects different people in different ways and has an especially strong effect on new arrivals to the workforce. Many people in the workforce are not used to the web and may be hesitant to change, but as we use the machine day after day this will change the way new employees do things vs existing employees. The web opens up new options, features, solutions and not to exclude problems to the workforce. In addition, people already in the workforce may go about things in a different manner and conflicting styles will cause problems. Sort of new age versus old age coming together. The old age will have to adapt to the changing environment and the new age will have to solve problems with a reliance on the web and pave a different path.
Lastly to sum up this weeks blog, I want to touch on what does the video mean when it says "we will have to rethink everything?" I think this means exactly what I mentioned before as in finding a new route or new way of accomplishing tasks. With technology growing a rapidly increasing rate the new work force will have to figure things out in direct comparison to the web and its functions. With the introduction of the new Web 2.0 we will not be able to go back to the old ways people are going to have to adjust and find different means of acheiving goals and conducting business. All and all, the video is very abstract and has a lot to do with humans relying on the machine for all aspects of life.
