Unit reflection by Titus (1035 0693)

The use of blog in learning is new to me, I can know about the course’s information without face-to-face interaction. It is convenient that everyone could join together when there is discussion on topic is held. We could also find more of relevant information to the topic as we could asset to the internet isochronally. The interactive of blog help us to experience an indifference of learning, since we can study without physically interaction.

When talking about the cyborg, I do agree that I am a cyborg. It is obviously that everyone is the cyborg in the modern age. For example, we asset to the internet in habit, when it is at the past, Wi-Fi service is not always a must in pubic area, but we can observe that people use iphone or ipad to online. ‘Plugged’ is a need to every urban people. We may argue that the power of networld, cyberspace is now a new platform for people to discover and explore. We are not naturally live in the world. The constructed space-cyberworld, it is more attractive and interesting to modern age people. To me, I also used to ‘plug in’ the cybersapce. I need to search information for doing homework and communicate with family member who goes abroad. As we can now easy to go globe by internet, it is a problem to those who cannot asset the net. The ‘Unplugged’ is isolated and outdated in our society, they are localized and lonely. So there is a divide in between the ‘plugged’ and ‘unplugged’.

In this course, we have discussed about some of the issue which is about our ‘self’ in the modern age. There is endless of new technology at every day.The newest of technology influences our life and makes our world difference. So, our embodiment in posthuman world is different than before. There is the blurring of boundaries between biology, culture and technology. Biology is not the opposite side to culture. ‘Thought’ is a much broader cognitive function depending for its specificities on the embodied form enacting it, we are now using our brain in identifies the environment, beside of the physical interaction. I think it is interesting that our society is changed. It is now more emphasize on our intellect, our brainpower. We need to practice as an intellectual; because it is the rule in living at the modern age.
