My reflection of the course

This course is quite difficult to understand during the first few lessons as many theories and new terms that I haven’t listened before, such as the term of “cyborg”. Although I always use computers or new technologies in everyday, those theories and social problem in the virtual world that are neglected by myself, and now I can realize all kinds of people’s practices, include constructing many different identities from a online user in the virtual world are valuable to study.

Indeed, some problems are should be concerned in the Internet, especially pornographies and violent online games, since many young children are knowledgeable enough to play the computer or even surfing online, they may not know how to identify what right or wrong is while getting visualized images of nude body and violence. I think that adults should concern this problem, not just only parents. I hope this problem can be solved by human beings in the reality. Furthermore, I appreciate with Anna’s teaching attitude so much, as she is the first time to teach this course, she is hardworking on finding many sources and prepare many information from those readings for us in every lecture. Many students agree that she is quite hard to understand many new theories in this course before the lecture and she can clearly explain them to us.
