Writing is a technology- Is the Machine using us?

In this video, several points are made demonstrating that the "machine" is growing more and more everyday.  Electronic text is now much more than thought to be originally.  Not only is it useful and changeable, it links us to everything and everyone.  The internet grows excessively everyday, broadening our horizons and what we can reach in our time.  We are capable of emails, blogs, linking, and other forms of communication all through the technology of text.  While it is a great thing to have so much more freedom and accessibility, it has gotten to a point where it has started to infringe on our privacy and change our way of thinking.
