In the You Tube video “Mechanics Are Using Us,” by Michael Wesch, he is telling us that we are practically the machines teaching the machines. When we post a blog or even hyperlink a website, that’s sending information into the computer. It remembers the data and learns from it. So essentially we are teaching the computers, not them teaching us. I agree with Mr. Wesch because he is absolutely right, I think that we do things on the computer and they pick up on it and remember. In the paper, I was surprised when they said that these days we aren’t as good at writing because we just say whatever we want and abbreviate and such on Facebook and websites like that. I disagree with that statement because its not that we don’t write good because of that reason, I think its because we don’t have good things to write about. I like to just free write because you can write about anything and don’t have a prompt or anything. Also they said we write more then times before but I disagree with that again. I think we write less because we are bored with writing. at least I know I am bored with just plain old writing...
So I will leave with you a question. Are machines teaching us or are we teaching them? Think about it.
