The Machine is Us/ing Us (Final Version)

Damn, watching this makes me want to get back into HTML. I haven't studied it since high school and I have forgotten virtually everything. I should probably check out this XML while I'm at it; this video makes it sound like it's the wave of the future.

But then again, the net has evolved quite a bit without me so I can honestly say that I have no idea what's going to happen in the future. Maybe XML will fade out; I don't see HTML going away anytime soon. It's the mother-tongue of the Internet.

how do you do that?

I was glued to the screen as I watched this clip. We always are connected to the web but rarely think about it using us. I use it for practical everything in my life from research to keeping relationships strong. In the beginning, the clip shows various ways we use the web but then twist the message at the end by talking about a "machine" that uses us. I can see this point by how the "machine" can keep tabs on my likes, and find a pattern in my life by my frequent visits to certain information.

incredible.

I felt this was kind of oversimplifying the technical stuff a little, especially the part about XML, XML tags can be virtually anything, so the whole title/description bit is specific to RSS. HTML isn't really going away, it's evolving and incorporated into how pages are being built, XHTML is pretty common place, styled by CSS, behavior added by javascript etc., compiled from an XML-based database by server-side languages like PHP or Ruby or C#, etc...

or have i been wrong this whole time?
