"The Machine is using us"

This was a very mind boggling video; Everything it said was very true though. Anyone who tries to live without a computer will very soon not be able to perform basic things like doing taxes or paying bills. As far as the computer using us goes, I don't believe we will be facing Skynet on the battle field anytime soon. It is true though, in a sense, the machine really is using us. Think about how much humans now rely on computers. Major companies, banks, stores, vehicles, toys, colleges, and  all branches of the military are lost without computers. It is almost as if just living a life on earth was not good enough.

We now have the opportunity to have another form of life on the web. We can make our voice heard without ever even speaking. We can join social circles and be outgoing; even when, in reality, one is a very shy and quiet person. They used to say, people always write things they cannot say out loud. That sure seems to be the case these days with all the tweets, blogs, and personal pages. Even now, I am on a computer writing everything I'm thinking, for school of all things. The irony is, no one can say anything bad about them because they make everyone's life a lot easier.  People do not like to admit it, but in reality, we are very dependent on our computers, and without them we would be unconnected to each other, and unconnected to the world.
