The Machine Is Using Us?
This video actually made a lot of sense. Initially, I didn’t realize how much of a hassle it can be to write thoughts and rough drafts down-using a pencil. But as the video progressed, it dawned on me that so much of the use of computer technology is second-nature to us. What I mean by that is we generally don’t realize how many times we press the ‘delete’ key on our computer; or go back to add a word or two in a sentence- all with a click of a mouse. I can still remember having to erase entire lines just to put in a few extra words while writing for an assignment. I think that we are using the machine; and with that I mean that we take this technology for granted most of the time-yet we are the ones creating it. Thus, we are the ‘machine’ and we are utilizing the use of the device we created.
