PLN4

There are two things that matter in Dr. Wesch's video "The Machiens Are Using Us". One is that using email and txt gives us a fasle sense of reallity. There is no emotion involved in what Dr. Wesch reffers to as a simulated conversation. This worries me because it will cuase people to use txt and email to convers because they don't know how to relate when face to fac with a person. Seccond and final is that as we try to make the "simulated conversation" more realistic the machines could use that programing to begin to think for it self and have conversations with other machines and humans. Eventualy the machiens would rule our live, because as the computers are programed to be smarter and smarter, they will eventualy out smart the human population and rule the world.
