A fantastic video, outlining the history and evolution of the internet. From humble, linear text beginnings, to user driven content where we become the machine. Fascinating viewing and a good 101 for those unsure of what this “whole web 2.0 thing” is about.

The premise that “we are the machine” is a little scary from an out there science fiction point of view. That much information about us, our habits, our likes and dislikes in the wrong, smart hands could be used to do all kinds of scary artificial intelligence stuff. Hell, this post could have me targeted by the machines as a conspirator against the machine uprising.
Well, I guess it’s time to read How to Survive a Robot Uprising again!!
