Is "The Machine" using us?

The video, "Web 2.0... The Machine is Us/ing Us" created by Michael Wesh went into detail about how the web went farther than anybody ever thought it would go- size wise. HTML was originally the simple format for most webpages, but now it has expanded and more elements are being added. This changed the format of web pages, and made using them easier than ever. It's surprising to think that the web wasn't necessarily designed to expand this much, just because we're all using it so much. I agree with just about everything that Wesh said in his video because the main idea is the changing of web from 1.0 to 2.0.


I think Wesh created this video to inform people about how HTML really changed the internet by separating form from content. Millions of internet users depend on internet 2.0 every day, so it's important to know how HTML webpages evolved so much. Later in the video Wesh typed "We are the web". This statement is very true, because the internet is something that defines a lot of us. The internet is such an important tool.
