"Web 2.0" in just under 5 minutes.http://... is a slightly revised and cleaned up version of the video that was featured on YouTube in February 2007.I considered releasing it as an "eternal beta" in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the last 30 seconds of this video (the "rethink ..." part).Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested insimilar issues.Once again, there are higher quality versions available for download:Windows Media File (55 MB):http://...

So you are welcome to download it, share it, even change it, just as long as you give me some credit and you don't sell it or use it to sell anything. I received many more positive comments than negative about the song choice (great work Deus!), but if you are one of those who does not like the song just download the video and change the audio track to your liking.The video was created by me (Michael Wesch), working alone from my house in St. George, Kansas. I used CamStudio for the screen captures and Sony Vegas for the panning/cropping/zooming animations. Someday I might make a video tutorial for those who are interested.
What a great work. Congratulations, really.It's true. The machine are us, there's nothing wrong with that. While we think as humans using machines like a tool, there's no problem...A machine can do the work of one hundred men, but there's no machine that can do the work of one extraordinary man...

I plan to use this in a lesson I'll create for my 6th grade Language Arts students. Not only is there a lot of content to consider, which helps me engage them in higher order thinking, but it's a great example of the writing process, how one puts down an initial thought, rethinks it, revises it, and so on. Great video - thanks.

machine and human kind are inseparable, does this mean an end to planet Earth's natural resources? Probably yes, maybe it's too late to try to reverse all the damage done to the environment. So yes, let's rethink many thinks and enjoy life and family as it is right now. Tomorrow might not hold a bright future.Great video!

There is a price to pay when one is a genius and a pessimist. For some day I will free the pegged horses (unicorns) and may we all be free. :DI own a house and have 2 children / girlfriend.. moms basement is long gone, if it ever was. I try hard to be happy but I can't.Thanks for your reply. :)
