“Captivating” was the first word that came to mind when I saw this video. Not only is it showing how the web changes over the years, it allows us to see how we change as well. The fact that we’re so involved with using the internet and the web is what leads to these transformations, iterating the fact that “we are the web”. In less than five minutes this piece of media is addressing the issues that arise with technology, making us rethink about privacy, identity, and ourselves.
The advancement of these technological innovations over the last seven years is incredible. I’ve noticed that the internet has come a long way compared to back then, with high speed access that gets you the information you need faster! The overall design of the different websites is more modern, not like the ones we were once accustomed to seeing on dial-up internet. This shows a point on how the improvement of the internet and the web made it easier for us to stay connected to the world.
I believe the important message behind this video is for us to be aware of the future that technology holds and continue to learn from it, instead of being fearful. What we should get out of this instead is be more caution in terms of how we live, act and socialized. Using technology to share and discuss with the public is a great resource to link the population together. Using the machine or letting it use us depends on “us.”
