There is no denying we live in an age in which all types of information are being digitally created at an ever-increasing rate. The more ubiquitous this process becomes, the more unremarkable it is to the point where it isn’t even noticed at all. Enter The Machine 2.0 brings focus back to this essential yet unnoticed part of our digital lives.
