Web 2.0...The Machine is Us/ing Us


I think the title represent that we could use by the machine also, we becoming the machine as well. Web 2.0 is easy to operate thus I think web 2.0 will affect people who ready to enter the workforce in computer science industry, like there would be lots of creativity of web more easy. As I mentioned, people already in the workforce, web 2.0 make them easier work but I also think that there will be new problem coming along. But still I am always surprised by new technology , where is the end of “new technology”, and how much that will be affect my life.

When I get up in the morning, the first thing what I do is check my email. When I study, if I cannot follow some subject, the first thing what I do is “Goggled.” No one argue with me about the computer technology affects our life. I am even friendlier reading a news paper in website than actual paper. Only “one click” then all information comes to me, like that easy. But always good things come along with side effect. First of all, when I wake up and check my email, if I have not gotten any of email, I feel like nobody care about me, or I cannot have an internet service, I would get stressed by the fact that I could not check my email.. About searching a information, there are tons of an idea or information coming to me just right after click, I do not know which information is right, or sometime hard to find what I looking for.

I am glad that my professor, Angie, choose the interesting movie for us. It was easy to watch and have a message in such a good way to show. It brought me a thinking about how "web" is affect my life. I think that “web” is a double edged knife. It is very useful, but we have to use carefully otherwise could get hurt easily.

For me, no matter what this technology is great. Because of this I can still catch up with news of my country and my family or frineds so easy even though I am here in United State!
