Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology is launching the Digital Ethnography working group at Kansas State University to examine the impacts of digital technology on human interaction. The first outcome of this work was a short, but excellent, video called "Web 2.0… The Machine is Us/ing Us"

The videos take viewers on an extremely creative journey from the beginning of the web to what we are now calling "web 2.0."
