The Machine is Us/ing Us

"The Machine is Us/ing Us" by created by Michael Wesch illustrating how "The Machine" is not just a useful tool, but something more advanced. Within the video there are multiple examples like tagging people, locating people, internet references, and email are a few examples what we do constantly. Also Wesch notes how we are constantly changing how we communicate and change the use of technology. Wesch uses a quote "We create an IDEA," which I believe to be true. If we didn't write what the "Machine" to do, how would it navigate without the assistance of a functional brain? Which relates to another quote "The Machine is US", that emphasizes how much control we have when using technology. Without humans to control the machine or without machine entirely how would we function?
