The Machine is Us/ing Us
This was a cool video. I watched it before, but didn't realize that I already had. I think its really cool how the machine is "using Us" to make data, information, and communication more accessible and user friendly to us. I just wish I could keep up and apply it in my working environment more. One thing that prevents usability of Web 2.0 technology is fear of security...it is amazing how much money we spend to reduce fear. What are so scared of...access I guess. Access to another job, access to a relationship, access to a reputation. What if one day everyone could know anything and everything about anyone and anything? Why are scared of being transparent? Why are we afraid of knowledge?

you're exactly right. there is fear involving security, and we'll more about it in class. that's why there's the whole notion of enterprise 2.0. basically, web 2.0 technology in an enterprise setting that promises to be more secure and scalable. thanks!
