The Mind of the World Wide Web



Web 2.0 the machine is Us/ing changed my perspective for the way the computer actually works. What caught my eye I think was how they mentioned that each time we use the computer for a task, we are teaching it a new idea each time. So what does that exactly mean? Always, from my perspective, the computer has had a "mind of its own." But now I realized its really the other way around. WE are the ones who make up the machine. Each day we add more and more information to the web. Increasing its knowledge through a database. What they were trying to explain was that digital text used today, used to be a simple part of our world. I not only think that it has become a part of us, it has defined our generation to do bigger, and better things for the future. It's not just part of the digital world, It's part of who we are.
