Today we watched a video on the impact of the internet on communication. This video demonstrated the complexities of html code writing and the possibilities for future communication.

The video offers an interesting argument about the current state of social interaction through the internet by making a few different statements about the "Machine." It says that the "Machine uses us" and that "We are the Machine." This implies that the internet juggernaut is both a controlling force (i.e. the infinite amount of information that is stored, transfered, viewed, copied, or created on the internet) and that we humans still can exert control over what we put into the system.
