Seeing as how it took me three times as long as everyone else to create this blog, the video seemed a bit technologically advanced. I think the title is telling us that computers and technology are slowly taking over our lives. Also, the play on word "us/ing" might imply that we are turning into computers ourselves. The fact that we are constantly on the computer, phone, ipod, etc. is proof that much of our lives are dependent upon technology. The argument that "machine's are using us" can also be made because of all the time, money, and effort spent on them. This video effects students who are entering the work force in a positive and negative way. The positive way is that it gives hope for long term employment opportunities for those in the technological world. On the other hand, it might discourage those who are in majors that are threatened by technology takeover. When it says that "we will have to rethink everything," I think it is implying that machines and technology are shaping the future into a sophisticated stream of information making many decisions for us.
