The use of blog as a course communication and reflection platform is good as we can freely discuss and post anything that are interesting and related to this course unit. By using this blog, the boundary of geographic distance has been diminished, we can extend the lecture to a virtual space and there is no time limited for learning and discussion with the use of blog. Meanwhile, blog discussion has an advantage that allowed us to have hyper linked to other websites or posting picture here and providing a more concrete discussion to our classmate. Furthermore, as our unit is about cyberspace, a real experience in blog communication would definitely giving us a consideration of the course unit. (such as the issue of race, identity and the concept of friends in cyberspace)
After the course, I regarded myself as a mini-cyborg, as I agreed that I have been relying on technologies to live. From glasses, pen to computer and mobile. Those technologies have changed our daily life and daily model of life. However, I don’t think that I am a completed cyborg, as being a cyborg there should be artificial mechanic parts added on/ inside our body, just like post-human.
This unit gave us a better understanding on cultural, sociological and psychological aspect analysis on cyberspace. The course is close to our daily life activities, for example, online community and our online identity. The examination on these areas can arose the attention from us on how technologies silently keep changing our society.
