Erica's Reflective Post

Before taking this course, I totally don't understand what this course is about. It's so difficult to understand with the title "Self.Net" and the term "cyborg". However, after this semester, I found that it is interesting to know more about internet and cyborg. There is a big connection between the real and virtual world. Technology brings lots of convenience to us. For example, we can chat with friends and find lots of information easily through internet, enjoy different types of video games to immetate what we can do in the real world. However, there are still lots of problems in virtual world. Youngsters are easily meeting bad guy through internet. A news very noticeable in these days is about a sixteen-year-old girl who lives in a poor family and needs to find jobs to help her parents. Unluckily, she met bad guy though internet and said they'd introduce job for her. Finally, she was being killed and they cut apart her dead body. There are lots of such kind of news that aroused the public's concern on internet.
