The authors of the video brought to our attention several important points. First, it is not only what you post on the internet, but how you post it. When we read articles on-line, do we include pictures? Italics? Links to other websites? Everything we say on-line has no emotion attached to it. The audience has to put an emotion with the words, and in some cases, the emotion is wrong. Although the internet is making communication quicker and less formal, we still need to pay attention to the details and formalities of the English language.
Second, the authors of the video brought up something that I particularly enjoyed. They said that computers are not only teaching us about the world wide web; instead, they suggested humans are teaching computers as we continue to explore the new opportunities the Internet provides us. By taking a computer to a new website or search engine, it learns how to process new digital information. In return, we learn about new ideas, theories and web sites the computer provides us.
