Hello, fellow bloggers—both new and old. My name is Natalia Terzic, and I'm an English major at Valparaiso University. I like to define myself as a writer (despite the fact that I've yet to publish anything), and part of my "job" as a writer is to, well, write. As someone whose thoughts flow faster through my mind than they can through the tip a pen, I've taken to using the computer to type all of my little fictional stories, and I've also used it to document my sporadic, interesting thoughts on Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter. Thus, for me, technology and writing have been a beautiful coupling for quite some time now. But despite that, I've realized that I hadn't paid much attention to the ways outside myself that technology and writing can come together to create beautiful techno-lit babies. I'm hoping that my time in this class can enlighten me to just how useful media really is when it comes to writing.

Now, onward to Wesch's video, "The Machine is Us/ing Us." I'll gladly admit that I had to watch the video twice in order to fully absorb his message; technology isn't the easiest thing to explain to those who haven't studied it—even to those who, like myself, know their way around a Tumblr theme's HTML code. While all of his "we'll need to rethink…" messages warrant comment, I think the most surprising—for me, at the very least—was "love." With the new age of online dating upon us (from acclaimed sites like Match.com to popular free services like Plenty of Fish), it seems as though we need to "rethink" love only in the sense that we need to let go of our traditional, trite values. We no longer live in a society where every couple meets at school or work or through mutual friends; now people who otherwise would've never crossed paths are falling in love through social media. I don't see what's so upsetting about that, as Wesch seems to suggest. Yes, these types of connections may be fraudulent (see: Catfish: The TV Show) and others are too long-distance to last, but can't love and technology exist peacefully together? Can't we build platonic love through websites just like this one (like many of us already have) without concern? Why does love in the age of technology have to be negative?
