Subject: Web 2.0 The Machine is Us/ing Us Fri Feb 20, 2009 1:39 am
So, if the "machine" is indeed "us using us", and we can teach ourselves (and by extension others) by teaching the "machine", then what is taking place in forums like this, is of the utmost importance relative to the web. What we are doing here is the counter to the endless loads of propaganda and useless info uploaded to the web.
A tiny bit of sincerity in a giant maze of duplicitous hypocrisy can not go entirely unnoticed by a savvy viewer.
The web should be about connecting people, unfortunately just like in the real world, the digital world is a wash w/ people using people, but we're proving that it doesn't have to be that way.
It seems that the web is quickly becoming a sort of mass human consciousness, and I think it is our responsibility to add to it responsibly and use it wisely while we can, because at some point in the future (or even right now maybe) I feel the web may be used by non humans as a sort of intro to humanity.
