In Ten Years

In ten years I will be 30 years old, and I see my career/life going in one of two directions by then. After school I plan on turning professional in golf and I plan on giving myself 3-4 years to see if I can make a comfortable life for myself and a family. If that doesn't work out I plan on getting some kind of job in real estate, I like to be outdoors and considering my dad has been successful with that I could learn a lot from him and hopefully start my own business. By 30 years old I definitely want to be married and hopefully start having kids, so financially I will have to be prepared for that. But who knows, in 10 years it could be a lot different than both of those scenario's, so we'll see.

The Machine is Us/ing Us

The title of the video poses a question right off the bat, it makes you think about how much technology is affecting our lives, and how much it is defining who our generation is. The web is becoming a virtual reality where a lot of people actually spend most of their daily lives in. My generation grew up with a lot of technology in our daily lives compared to our parents, its hard to imagine what world our children will grow up in terms of how much technology is in our lives, which leads back to the title of the video, the machine is us, or using us? And I think it poses the question of the dangers that we will be so dependent on technology that we won't be able to live without it.
