I have never gotten use to using the Internet as a learning platform.
I consider using the computer / Internet for academic purpose very weird. The asynchronous aspect of the Internet added the time-lag between discussion and slow things down. Therefore, I personally prefer chatting on the phone than sending text message (SMS) for the same reason: that I can get the information I want quicker. Also, data on the Internet often struck me as unreliable and unstable. For instance, I could be finding someone else NOW to type this reflection for me while I sit and watch TV. You'll never know what people are actually doing behind the monitor.
Do I regard myself as a cyborg? I guess the answer is yes. I could not imagine my life without technology! How could I get to Admiralty without MTR? And doesn't MTR runs on a computer, too? I would also be blind without my eye-glasses!
In sum, I think this unit is rather controversy and debatable. Many of the discussions are open-ended and thus challenging. However, one point I would like to add is that why always talk about female submissive aspect? Isn't it by "studying" women only is also discriminating women, too? Why don't we study about men?
