Eileen's Reflective Post

From the subject name “Self. Net”, it seemed to be a very difficult things. But after twelve weeks lectures and tutorials, I think that it is not as difficult as imagined. It is just talked about the technology around us everyday such as video games, culture jamming and virtual community. It helps us to understand more about the negative and positive impact on technology which we may not know before.

Writing weblog become more popular today. I think it is very convenient for us to know others response, feeling and information about a specific event. Also, it functioned as dairy. We can get some interesting story and information about other people. But in this course, weblog become a tool for us to exchange our knowledge. For example, all of us post our webliography on the weblog, we can see that each of us have different perspective although we may do the same question. To a certain extent, it helps us to widen our horizon.

I believe that I am a cyborg. It's so hard for me to exclude technology in my life. Technology invaded our lives from different aspects. Undoubtedly, technology gives us so many advantages, such as easier to communicate with others. However, it made human depend on it. After doing the webliography of Frankenstein, I know more about the relationship between technology and humanity. I think that we are still need to work hard on keeping harmony or equality between technology and humanity.

I really enjoy this course. Through the lectures, different classmates' presentations and discussions, I learn more about how the technology affects our lives. And although I rarely play video game, after my presentation, I got a deeper understanding about the issues of video games. Undoubtedly, technology helped us a lot when we did our assignments for this course.
