Response to "The Machine is Us/ing Us"

I think the title refers to the transfer of knowledge. In other words, every time someone uses the web, they “feed” the web more and more information. Every click, every search, etc transmits information not only to others around the world but certain information is tracked, stored and used at a later time and for different purposes.
Knowing how to operate the web is crucial for anyone to become successful in today’s society especially when searching for employment and communicating with potential employers. People who are already in the workforce should familiarize themselves with web applications or enhance their knowledge to keep up with growing technology.
The web has become fully integrated into everyone’s lives’. I think the web is a wonderful tool for browsing, research, etc but I also believe the web can be used in devious ways and poses a threat for the future development of society. As helpful and beneficial as the web is, I believe the web has become too advanced because it has eliminated the need for human interaction and has made life “too easy.”
