The Machine is Using Us
Michaels main point of the film was to show us the uses of the internet and how anything we do can be altered or used by anyone however they do please.
The machine is Using Us id not a literal meaning. At least I think so. I feel the exact opposite. We as humans created the Machine, so in essence, we are the ones using it, not vise versa. We in fact are the ones using other peoples ideas as shown on the video, taking them and adding our own information changing the way they are represented. The video shows how easy it is to do so, especially sites like Wikipedia. With this, there are no ways of telling if the information we are seeing is correct due to the vast amount of users who are able to add their own information about a topic, on that site. People have found the way to, with just the click of a button, distort the views of one, to persuade the views of another. So as I said earlier, It is Us who are using the Machine.
