Some of the ways that machines are using us is they are distracting us, they are absorbing our knowledge, and they are convincing us to believe and do certain things. Machines are distracting us because they are our main entertainment. They are distracting us from the natural world and all of its tasks. Instead of experiencing something for ourselves, we explore it on the web. Machines are becoming addictions to the majority of society. They suck us in to there aw factors and entertain us. They brainwash us to rely on them. Machines are using us by absorbing our knowledge. They are doing this by letting us blog, communicate, and research on the web. Machines are advertisers. They persuade us to buy things, do things, share things, see things, and much more. They are poisoning our minds with disturbing thoughts and eventually convince us to do things. For an example, T.V. shows convince viewers to participate in obnoxious behavior, buy unusual products, and do stupid things. But we made these powerful beasts. Something made by man is outsmarting man itself.
