No More Mr Roboto

I think Dreyfus is trying to tell us two different things in this passage. The first is rather simple and we all know it from the time we spend on the internet researching a topic. While the internet is a great tool for looking up information because it gives us more areas than we ever dreamed was possible, it's also a poor research tool because there's no proper organization of material. The library was set up in an ordered and controlled way that allows you to research a topic more specifically. Where is the Dewey Decimal system for the internet?

The second and really the most important topic is what the internet has done to us as people. We use the internet to communicate and it does make it more efficient. And yes, that works great because we can do it so fast, but we also lose the personal touch that we as humans need to maintain between each other. We are humans and we need emotional connections with other humans to feel. That's all. That's it. We need the love, the sadness, the joy, and the heartache. We just need to have real feelings that we get when we're with each other. The feeling we get over the net is so superficial that we begin to separate our mind, body, and emotions. We cease to exist. We are no longer relevant. Eventually, we become another machine to some other person a thousand miles away and we become a machine to ourselves.
