Reflection of Stella :]

This is probably the last blog entry I have for this course. So, here comes to my self-reflection upon the course in this semester.

I guess I do believe I am a cyborg to a certain extent because I feel the majority of my life revolves around technology, whether it is at home, at work or even in university. Computers are an integral part of my life, and my home personal computer holds many memories for me in the form of photos as well as written texts. So I guess it is an extension of the memory in my brain. I would undoubtedly be devastated to lose the information on the computer but probably to a lesser extent than if I found out I had something like alzheimers. I guess what it comes down to though is that I can essentially function without technology, but it does play a huge role in my lifestyle.

As for the weblog, I think it is quite a useful and interesting tool for learning. It is really easy and convenient for me to post my blogs and comments onto it as we all can access it whenever or wherever we are. And I find this learning experience useful as I can value the opinions of others and help me understand more about the course materials, as well as the theories that we discussed during lectures and tutorials.

However, I do think the course has the initial heavy theoretical issues that we begun with. It scared me off a bit as the theory are really difficult and it took me time to understand and digest all of them. But as we continued I found the issues and concepts did actually relate to my own everyday life, which made it much easier to identify with them.
