"Machine, device, having a unique purpose, that augments or replaces human or animal effort for the accomplishment of physical tasks." explains by Encyclopaedia Britannica. People usually use machines to increase their working efficient, however, the machine is becoming smarter and smarter. In some ways, the machine is using us. Mr Micheal Wesch posted a video on Youtube about nine years ago called "The Machine is Using Us". According to Micheal Wesch, "Is Web 2.0 penetrating in every part of our lives? Web 2.0 is changing everything we can dream of; from education, media, business to politics." The Internet already make a great impact on people's life nine years ago. In fact, most people can not leave the machine, the internet. The internet make people's daily life more convenience. People can pay their tuition fee or take the online course(education), chat with friends (social media), electric transfer money immediately(business), vote online or discuss politics online(politics). Micheal Wesch's words become true, internet almost penetrating in every part of our lives. However, machine is also using people, most people can not leave the machine. Internet exist in every part of people's live. In my mind, although it is very difficult to avoid using machine(impossible!) in people's daily life, people could reduce the time for using machine.
