Machines are using us!

In Michael Wesch’s video “Machines are using us!” What matter is change, involuntary learning, and control.He share with us how machines have changed us and have become us. First, he talks about how we are the machine. He gives an example by starting in hand writing then gradually changing into typing. Second, everything we do the computer learns it. This type of involuntary learning is could be dangerous. Last, the machines have no control. They gradually get more information after every use and there is no control over it. Nobody controls it, it controls itself. Control, involuntary learning, and change are what matter in Michael Wesch’s video “Machines are using us!”
