Web 2.0: is the machine using us?
In some cases, the machine does use us. There have been many stories of parents neglecting their children due to their dependence on and addiction to machines, however machines are meant to help us, to automate processes for us. I believe they accomplish this task. It is not the machine that uses us, except in very extreme cases, we use the machine.
Are you thinking about at&t smart (-ish) phone? That clearly is an example of a machine playing upon consumers' desires to keep their children safe.
