  5. An interesting view on the dependency that we as human beings hold on the internet and technology. Sort of upsetting to know that we are unable to function without it.

  6. We're not just individual people anymore - "me" is intricately intertwined with "you" and "them"...

  7. Essentially "social media" is revolution like that of the industrial revolution - things will/are changing - if organizations (like schools and businesses) don't change perhaps they will become obsolete. Check out the post above about newspapers that are failing and how several of them went completely online, which still has not been a guarantee of success.

  8. The video is showing how dependent we really are on computers and technology, whether or not we admit to it. Old technological advances that were supernatural at the time have quickly become inadequate for our hunger towards new innovations to make our lives easier.

  9. We need to re-think ourselves when we think we have complete control over the internet but its a larger place than one person could see in their life time.
