It's about perspective.

The video, “Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us” demonstrates the infinite ways the internet is used, reused, and re-taught. The internet is flexible- indecisive. When computers were first made buyable to the average family HTML was essential to technicians who made programs for computers, but only years later this technique seems barbaric and primitive. Now we can go to the computer and type a paper, look up new words, make sure they are spelled right, meanwhile having several “tabs” up in another window. Can an argument be made that w are too reliant on technology? Sure. But on the other hand- can we concur that the positives overshadow the negatives? Obviously some argue that people (especially teenagers) are able to say anything in writing that they would never do in person and relationships with family and friends suffer from it. On the other hand when I can e-mail a teacher for help where I would otherwise have to wait (and probably forget) I can do so and have a better learning environment. The web has permanently changed the lives of people today and can be used to better the world.
