Course Reflection by Mandy

This course gave me a lot of new experience on the field of technology. I have not used blog as a learning tool. It is interesting for me that blog can be a communication tool between tutor and classmates. I have used blog before, but it is for private use, like posting daily life on xanga and yahoo blog. Now we can share and discuss our ideas and essays to our classmates through blogger. Also, I think it is more user-friendly and has environmental protection because we do not need to hand in the paper work, but post it on the blog instead. Hope using blog as learning platform can be a trend on teaching purpose.

I always see the word “cyborg” in the course. At the beginning, I did not know what this word means so to ignore it. Later, through the reading, lecture notes and classmates’ presentation, I understand this word and want to know more and more. Until now, I think I am a cyborg. Although I do not have any prosthesis or chip, technology is part of my life actually. From wearing contact lenses, to using smart phone, to surfing Internet, all the technologies give us easy life and convenience. Can you imagine how can we live without technology?

Furthermore, I like this course because it makes me think more about the relationship between human and technology apart from cyborg. Such as how dose technology influence woman’s states and what is the trend of online community. These are good topics for us to discuss.
