The machine is not using us we are using the machine.We are telling the machine what to do and what ideas the computer should share with us. We program the computers to do what we want them to do. Computers cannot think for themselves, it is up to us to make the computers think.

We made computers, computers have features that help us when times change. there used to be basic calculators that calculated simple equations, now we have scientific calculators that help us with tough problems.

computers remember the sites we viewed, the information we researched, the music we listened to , and the videos we watched. We rely on the computers to help us with our everyday lives. It makes our lives easier. Some argue that it affects our thinking and writing skills because we only read what we want.

Let's be honest, while the computer may be allowing us to read faster, we are not going to read online anymore than we would in real life.
