Web 2.0

I think that the title of the video "machine's are us/ing us" is talking about how technology has taking over our lives. In today's world everyone is almost in constant contact with technology whether it be on the computer, Internet, cell phone, mp3 players, etc. At the end of the video it makes a lot of statements that are the barriers that all the new technology is bringing. We are subject to more identity theft or losing our privacy because of hackers and people having so much of their personal things online such as paying bills, e-mails, or buying things online. That is why I think the message at the end telling "us" that we need to rethink everything is a message about our future and its role with technology. We keep moving more and more to a pure society of technology and at this rate we will almost cut off all sources of personal connection with human beings in the future. And that if we completely rely on technology someday we could crash just like a hard drive and lose everything if all of information is only stored in technology.

Introduction

Hey my name is Jordan and I am a junior this year at Clemson. I transferred from Tri-County last year after I got my Associates Degree in business management and now going to Clemson for sports marketing. I moved from Virginia 6 years ago to Anderson and graduated from the famous T. L. Hanna with Radio.I am into all kinds of sports and can't wait for football to kick off next weekend, GO TIGERS! I like to play basketball and golf with my friends in my free time. Also, I just got my first motorcycle last summer so this past year all I have been doing is riding my bike around.
