Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us

The video "Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us" reminded me a lot of The Terminator. It is crazy how much we are depending on and teaching the Internet. I'm afraid that one day it really is going to rise up, take us over, kill us, or make us slaves!
The video was done very creatively to represent (as I interpreted it) what text or writing once was and now what it is and becoming. Text once was "set in stone" literally. Now with the click or touch of a button a word can take you anywhere. The benefit, or danger, is in every time we do go somewhere with a word we leave footprints to be followed and learned from, each time giving and gaining knowledge.
