Jessie's reflective post

The use of weblogs for learning purposes is very effective. Through the weblogs, we can share the assignments with peers; discuss the unit topics and readings; respond or comment classmates' opinions. It is very convenient that we just sit in front of the computer and thus can gain a lot of knowledge and information.

I think I'm a cyborg. In fact, I prefer face-to-face communication rather than CMC. However, as the rapid developments of technology and people have lesser time to see each other, we have to communicate with people through technology and it is the only way to keep contact with our friends. I'm not sure it is good or bad. I'm quite contradictory to this.

I think the course is interesting. It helps me think deeper about the relationship between humanity and technology, as I have never thought this kind of issue before. However, some of the readings are quite difficult to understand.
