The Machine is Using Us

January 16th, 2008 Richard

Eleven months ago, Mike Wesch, an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University created a video called “Web 2.0 .. The Machine is Using Us” and posted it on YouTube. As I type, the video has been viewed more than 4 million times.

It is a classic written about 1000 years ago in web years (1999), so, one interesting issue, is the extent to which the manifesto has served to predict the future. In some ways, I believe it is profound and prophetic. Of course many think it’s just a bunch of high-falutin’ mumbo-jumbo hype. Look over the 95 theses and see what you think.
