I did not see the Title of this video before I wrote most of the comments below.

Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us

Meta-analysis of “Web 2.0″ from an anthropologist. Ideas presented visually track development of this new culture/Enlightenment/Renaissance.

As always, old systems become reactionary and work/fight to to maintain the status quo. If we as people on this planet can survive – physically, culturally and spiritually – then we, all humanity, could emerge with a common language.

Hmmmm….the machine, the Web, the social network – in the disguise of individual creativity – creates uniformity.

Interesting. Watch Voluntary Simplicity and Amish-like cults arise that reject this modernism. And rebels/terrorists/freedom fighters who try to destroy it all.
ooo
