One thing that caught my attention when watching the video was when "we" were called a "machine." The video said we will "teach the Machine." What makes us, humanity, a machine? Do we not think for ourselves? Has the web made us organisms focused on consuming and digesting information without thinking about what it is?
The web has reached a new level, 2.0. Anyone is easily capable of adding information, videos, text, and pictures. People are slowly learning that they must guard themselves from those on the web that want to steal personal information. People can easily contact with each other with a few clicks and a bit of typing. Ideas are easily shared. News travels more quickly than ever.
People entering the workforce probably know how to use the web very well. It is a rarity in our world that someone would not. These people must make sure that they have self-control on the web. There are many ways to get in trouble in the workplace using the web: pornography, online gaming and other unethical or time wasting activities. People already in the workplace must make sure that they continue learn and adapt to the ever changing web. The can use the new web in powerful ways to gain a competitive advantage.
I hope we don't become mindless information collectors and that we always think about what we are using the web for.
