We made machines but we let machines control us.

Ady

10/7/2019 01:16:10 pm

Yeah,definitely

Olivia

10/7/2019 01:16:57 pm

True.

Keely

Woah. That’s pretty deep.

Myah

10/7/2019 01:19:55 pm

It was one sentence, but it said a whole bunch.

Ele

10/7/2019 01:21:33 pm

Yes, I agree

We created machines and now we use them to such an extent that it seems like we must have them to live. So to a point we are controlled by the machines because some of us would be lost if it wasn’t for machines that guide us. We shouldn’t depend on the things we create.

Trishelle

Your so right.

Eliza

10/7/2019 01:15:14 pm

I like the way you put that.

Olivia

10/7/2019 01:16:04 pm

I like your ideas.

Ady

10/7/2019 01:19:35 pm

Facts broski

Ele

10/7/2019 01:22:04 pm

That’s very true.

Tyler

Yah

Trishelle

10/7/2019 01:13:19 pm

Both because we decide to be on them but there like a temptation to us.

Eliza

10/7/2019 01:13:43 pm

I think that we spend way too much time on technology but we can choose to not be on it.

Trishelle

10/7/2019 01:14:58 pm

Yes Liza

We created the machines, but they did their job too well. We enjoyed having them so much, they started to influence how we think. We worked so hard in order to not work hard.

Sienna

10/7/2019 01:15:08 pm

That’s a nice point of view. I agree.

Olivia

10/7/2019 01:15:22 pm

I agree.

Kendra

10/7/2019 01:15:57 pm

I agree, as we use them more they influence us.

Dakota James

10/7/2019 01:16:28 pm

I like the part you said about the machines working too well.

Jonah

10/7/2019 01:18:56 pm

Thanks for sharing, I agree.

Carson

10/7/2019 01:19:07 pm

I agree they influence how we speak.

Keely

10/7/2019 01:21:17 pm

I didn’t think about working so hard to have us work less hard. That’s cool.

Kendra

10/7/2019 01:14:31 pm

At first we controlled them and tried to use them for our benefit. But I feel as we use them more we get attached or addicted to them. We sometimes don’t want to put them down.

Eliza

10/7/2019 01:15:52 pm

I like the way you said that.

Hailey

10/7/2019 01:16:41 pm

I agree that we are addicted to devices.

Janessa

10/7/2019 01:16:52 pm

I like how you said addicted. That’s the concept of having too much of a good thing.

Cade

10/7/2019 01:17:08 pm

I agree that we get attached.

Dakota James

10/7/2019 01:18:22 pm

Yeah I think we think we need them when really they should only be used when applicable.

Tyler

10/7/2019 01:24:39 pm

Yah I think we give them to much control

Olivia

10/7/2019 01:14:40 pm

Honestly it’s like a mutual relationship. We in a way control machines, but in other ways they utterly control us. We are the hand, and we can search anything we want with our technology, use quite a bit to our advantage, but with doing so we guarantee our dependence on those machines. We are giving them the upper hand whenever we use them due to our temptation for them.

Hailey

10/7/2019 01:16:15 pm

I agree that we are dependent on our devices.

Cade

10/7/2019 01:18:12 pm

I agree that we’re always giving them the upper hand.

Hailey

10/7/2019 01:15:27 pm

I think that we, as humans, physically control machines. But, I think that machines and technology easily control humans mentally. In today’s society, we are addicted to technology and our devices. We have physical control over the machines but our mental addiction to them keeps us from being 100% in control.

Kendra

10/7/2019 01:17:28 pm

I agree, I like how you explained that.

Janessa

10/7/2019 01:18:39 pm

Hear it from Hailey! Technology = drugs!!

Jonah

10/7/2019 01:20:52 pm

Yeah the mental side is definitely a valid truth.

Nathan

10/7/2019 01:30:50 pm

You are right we are addicted to technology

Ady

10/7/2019 01:15:44 pm

I think that machines have started to control the way we live our lives. Through our cars,phones, and jobs they have an impact in our everyday routine.

Carson

10/7/2019 01:17:14 pm

Very true.

Lizzie

10/7/2019 01:17:59 pm

I totally agree with what you’re saying.

Carson

10/7/2019 01:16:10 pm

We made machines at first. Eventually though machines might overtake us. They could be their own species and begin self evolving.

Janessa

10/7/2019 01:19:26 pm

That’s scary.

Ady

10/7/2019 01:20:16 pm

Yeep

Cade

10/7/2019 01:16:22 pm

Humans control machines only until we start to rely on them for everything. Once we start to rely on the machines, we won’t be able to live without them.

Erik

10/7/2019 01:16:35 pm

I think we that we can control machines if we use them wisely. If we missuse the technology we have and let it get in the way of more important things we have to do then it could be controlling us. If you use your technology in the right way it can become a very useful tool.

Lizzie

10/7/2019 01:18:44 pm

I feel like it does depend on how you use them too.

Megan

10/7/2019 01:16:38 pm

I think both because we are the ones who created the machines and can manually control them. But I feel that the machines can mentally control us and how we feel.

Lizzie

10/7/2019 01:16:47 pm

I think that the machines often influence our decisions and impact the way we think. Which often makes us rely a lot on our phones but some people have enough control to where they don’t always need to be on their phones. I feel like it really depends on the person.

Beth

10/7/2019 01:20:59 pm

I agree

Madeline

10/7/2019 01:17:02 pm

I think that there is a little bit of both. In some ways we control the machines we use. Although at the same time the machines we use tell us so many things that influence us and our opinions that in some ways the machines do control us.

Myah

10/7/2019 01:21:23 pm

I like what you said about influencing opinions.

Jonah

10/7/2019 01:17:37 pm

Machines were made for us to control. We have grown such a reliability to them that they seem to control us. Whether in our time usage or other effects. Be careful not casual in your actions. If you use it right, you can keep control.

Beth

10/7/2019 01:21:40 pm

That is a good way to look at it

Beth

10/7/2019 01:17:46 pm

With the advances of technology, we are becoming more and more dependent on machines. The more dependent we become we forget how to live without them. We use machines to schedule our life, budget our money, and record our history. Our entire way to life is dependent on machines. And if one doesn’t work, we panic. I would definitely say that machines control us.

Boaz

10/7/2019 01:20:00 pm

We are definitely on the path to become more influenced by these machines.

Jonah

10/7/2019 01:28:09 pm

👍

Boaz

As of right now we control the machines that play a big part in our life as humans. They are not governing our lives but they do greatly influence how we live it. This being said they influence us based on what we, or the people that control the machines, want them to influence us with. The machines do not have their own agenda therefore they cannot be blamed for the influence they have over us.

Madeline

10/7/2019 01:20:11 pm

That’s a very good perspective.

Micah

10/7/2019 01:26:28 pm

That is exactly what I think. Almost word for word. That is the most true, correct, honest opinion I have seen about this topic.

Nathan

10/7/2019 01:28:02 pm

I like what you said I agree with you

Keely

10/7/2019 01:18:17 pm

I think that for the most part we control machines but there are certain “machines” that control us. iPhones and social media are machines that control us. We are so heavily influenced by these things. People, if you will, are machines by which we are controlled by through society and our ways of life.

Boaz

10/7/2019 01:23:24 pm

I agree that ultimately we are the reason for the control. It is interesting when we determine what is machine and when it becomes human or visa versa

Jonah

10/7/2019 01:29:09 pm

iPhone 11?

Myah

10/7/2019 01:18:28 pm

I think think that it’s a bit of both. Technology is and is capable of influencing or controlling us. At the same time we are controlling it as well because, obviously, we are the one who created it.

Madeline

10/7/2019 01:20:52 pm

I agree with you.

Ele

10/7/2019 01:18:51 pm

We control the machines most of the times but while we control them we let them take over our lives. We control them physical but mentally we let the control us.

Jaylee

10/7/2019 01:19:19 pm

We physically control machines but they can can control us mentally. We want to use our machines and feel the need to use them. Even though we control how we use them and when we use them. There is also the feeling that we need machines.

Tyler Hilton

I think that now we feel comfortable with the way our machines affect us today but I think that we might get to ahead of ourselves and give the machines to much control.

Micah Tolman

We have the gift to choose. We choose to control or be controlled. Computers don’t have a body. They can’t move. They’re stuck. We have power over the. We can manipulate them. We have an arm that we can use to click out of something if we don't like it. They don’t have that ability. We control them.

We made machines and we use them to do incredible things and improve our daily lives but we let them consume us but we do not realize it.
