Web 2.0 explained in a short, moving video

This incredible video called "Web 2.0... the Machine is Us/ing Us," is deeply moving and incredibly smart. The creator is Michael Wesch, an assistant Cultural Anthropology Prof at Kansas State U, and he has strung together a bunch of animations, text, and screenshots in order to tell the story of "Web 2.0" -- and why it matters, and how it's changing the world. This is as starry-eyed as techno-optimism gets, and it might just choke you up a little, if you care about this stuff. Link (via Wonderland)

They played this at the Web 2.0 conference, which I attended. It got big cheers.
