Course Reflection

I really enjoyed the content of this unit. Throughout this semester, I have learnt a lot of concepts, all of these theories are related to the technology. Donna Haraway’s Cyborg theory, a new concept for me, it is very interesting. However, I can’t accept the fact that all of us are so deeply imbedded in technology. The idea of cyborg has been reinforced the whole semester. After studying this unit, do I now consider myself as a cyborg? Honestly, I regard myself as a cyborg because technology becomes an important part of my daily life. And I can’t imagine what will happen if one day all technology shut down and I can’t use mobile phone or computer. It must be terrible. Technology is so important for everyone. Even though I like the traditional communication method (face-to face communication), the online communication is so convenient and “attractive”. So, it is no doubt that I am a cyblog and I am so proud of that.

Use the blog as the learning tool is interesting. For me, I never having used a blog before, and this unit exposed me to a new tool for communication. The feeling is good. The blog did help us to understand more the course topics. It is a good platform for us to discuss the related topics, comment others’ work, develop and sharing some ideas. But sometimes I haven't felt comfortable when I am writing my opinion for all to see.

In regards to the unit in general, my feelings are positive. I do enjoy the course and it is interesting. However, the 50% weight of research essay is so difficult. It confused me so much. But I will try my best to work on it. XDDD
