The Machine is (US)ing US

Watching the video on Tuesday about how the computer has evolved and affected society really made me rethink my original mindset on it . Before I used to think as humans who have created the computer that we were using technology to create all of these fantastic innovations. Now I have a new perspective on the machine called the computer. One of the fascinating part about the video is how fast the computer has evolved over the years. I am definitely glad I'm living in this day and age where computers have audio, graphics and video. The fact that computers had to be programed by the owner of the computer sounds exhausting to me  I am just glad I don't have to do that because I do not have the attention span nor the patience for that. The tittle The Machine is (
US)ing US to me means that although the computer is made by US and we think we have it all figured out, it has come to a point where it is using it us. When I think about how many jobs have been lost due to the emergence of new technology, how humans are more consumes by their phones as well as how much the computer knows about us is definitely worrisome and just proves how much we are using the computer but at the same time is using us.The way technology is growing I am afraid it can only get worst. I am not quite sure whether we are using the machine more than it is using us or the other way around but I am looking forward to learn more so I can make up a decision.
