The Machine is Us: The Elegance of the Web
This is an interesting documentary and ethnography of the history of the web as we know it today.

Seeing the way that computers and us have both had to adapt to each other has really cemented my sense of computers and us having a symbiotic relationship.
We feed them electricity and allow them to reproduce.
They allow us to type, create art in new ways, become immersed in video games, and communicate with other people with computers at far distances.
It makes me feel awed - a little like I'm playing with fire. :)
