Twitter and Google Revolution?

(I tried to embed this video but I'm just not that smart.)
It's really interesting what O'Reilly's saying because it's very similar to what the first few articles we read talked about--how the internet and our mental capacities are starting to converge. We think more "now, now, now" and Twitter does the same because of it's real time. As we all know, it is Google's mission to become more like this and even so much like our own thought patterns that it will imitate A.I.
I agree with what he's saying about "SkyNet." We really are a part of the machine so much that a separation is ceasing to exist. Total connection seems to be the final goal of companies like Google.
The combining of algorithms and Knowledge Work is not only happening but is kind of creepy.
