Professor Walsh explaining “The machine is us”
my favourite open session at the web 2.0 expo, prof. walsh himself explained his thoughts behind the well-known video “the machine is us”, how he came to the idea, how he did it and how surprised he was about the effects on his life, his work and the web community. check it out! he`s so sweet, isnt he 
btw: its not the full speech, unfortunatly my camera gave up during this session. but i have the audio-file, you`ll find it here soon (have to compress it…) … Web2Expo Web2Expo07 Web2.0 …

I think those people are in another room, or another part of the room; at least that’s what it sounds like to me. I don’t think they’re even watching this talk.
This is some of the worst camerawork I’ve ever seen.
I was interested. I thought the “students” were incredibly rude, and he was brave to continue on. It must happen all the time. How disgusting. Thank God I only teach elementary school children from impoverished backgrounds. Different issues. But lots of them don’t give a damn, either.
Fascinating
Professor “Wesch”
Where those people talking in the background or in the same room?
=/
I agree with marqueA2! The video cuts off just at the good part!
Wow this was really interesting to listen to. I watched the “Machine is Us” video in my ITGS (Information Technology in a Global Society) class. Having the creator’s commentary gave me a lot more to think about. Too bad the explanation was cut short.
The students were being EXTREMELY disrespectful, especially at the beginning when a lot of them were laughing very loudly. I am SO glad that people are more resepectful where I live (Canada)!
People who want to listen will listen or move to listen. Those who do not, well… that’s their problem.
If they don’t want to listen, then why are they there? It doesn’t make sense to go to a lecture just to be disruptive and disrespectful!
Nahh… I believe this is presented in some sort of convention center partitioned into small seminar areas.
god the ppl talkin w0nt st0p.
I’m pretty sure that has nothing to do with the main topic of this video. Please post more intelligent comments from now on.
Actually, it has everything to do with the main topic of this video. It’s very hard to hear what’s being said because of the noise. Please stop criticizing random people for no reason. My comment was perfectly fine. There’s no need to imply that I’m dumb. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
Correction: his name is actually Mike Wesch. I saw him recently at a different conference; great presentation!
dammit – cut at the bit i was most curious about.
thx for uploading though – very interesting backstory about a very interesting video
I hope i will find another video, less noisy. Interaction is one of the key words of life, but respect is another.
yep definitely, must be things going on all around the room…!
explaining would be a reputation not wgo or pride as well I dont appreciate SHIT FUCK OFF SAY IT TO ME
Pfft it cuts off at the most interesting part -_-.
LOL… build up, build up… good bit… cut!
GROAN!!!!
upsi….. sorry
Hey just an FYI, its spelled Michael Wesch. If you change your title it will make it easier to find in the searches.
