The Machine is Us/ing Us (Final Version)

"Web 2.0" in just under 5 minutes. http://mediatedcultures.netThi... is a slightly revised and cleaned up version of the video that was featured on YouTube in February 2007.I considered releasing it as an "eternal beta" in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the last 30 seconds of this video (the "rethink ..." part).Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested insimilar issues.Once again, there are higher quality versions available for download:Windows Media File (55 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?2wnm... File (96 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?axhb... Version (for comments, translations, etc.): http://mojiti.com/kan/2743/598... work is licensed under a Creative CommonsAttribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License. So you are welcome to download it, share it, even change it, just as long as you give me some credit and you don't sell it or use it to sell anything. I received many more positive comments than negative about the song choice (great work Deus!), but if you are one of those who does not like the song just download the video and change the audio track to your liking.The video was created by me (Michael Wesch), working alone from my house in St. George, Kansas. I used CamStudio for the screen captures and Sony Vegas for the panning/cropping/zooming animations. Someday I might make a video tutorial for those who are interested.

Google the term "Internet 2" or "Internet2" This just selling the "idea" that we need a new kind of internet. We do not need to "Rethink" internet we need to keep it the way it is. Don't buy in to the idea that we need "Internet2" as explained in another video I watched will create internet "gated" communities" Don't let yourself get locked in a box on the internet. Let the internet stay open and free. (and I don't mean $0)

(haha, I know what it means to "buy into" :P)This is just my opinion, but I don't feel that the video is trying to do that. The video is simply stating how the internet has changed; and how people can use it much more interactively (with the web itself and with other people)

Buy - 8. Informal. a. to accept or believe Don't buy in to what they are selling to you. The idea that this is a whole new kind of internet, and that it is better than what we have now. It is not!

Don't buy in to this they are claiming they are expanding on the net, but they are not it's basically nothing more than a Myspace style information sharing that uses the Internet. It will not in any way expand on the Internet at all it's just going to restrict it more in reality. Notice the word "Governance" they will find a way to silence you if nobody likes what you are saying.
