Honestly, I am very worry about I cannot get clear understanding of this unit in the first lessons. I have not clear idea of cybrogs even though I have some blogs. For me, blogging as a tool to express my feeling and communicate with other because of some times I don’t know how to express my feeling with others in reality. Therefore, blogging is one of the ways to express my feeling and became my hobbies.
Although weblog exercise and theories seems quiet academic. For me, the weblog provide a good platform for me to communicate with my classmates and have more interactive with them. Also, the presentation outlines is helpful for me because our classmates provide some good summaries of those week’s readings and I read it easily. Besides that, Wesley also highlights some key points for us in the tutorial. I think it is useful for us to get more clearly of readings.
After studying this course, I get a clear idea of cybrog. As a matter of fact, I am a cybrog. We are cybogs. Cybrog are everywhere in our daily life since technology complete our life. It totally shifts my impressions of cybrog which was like robot with human appearance before I study this course. And I learnt many new concepts which I never heard before, such as posthumand. Also, I like N. Katherine’s point in the How We Became Posthuman “the important intervention comes not when you try to determine which is the man, the woman, or the machine. Rather, the important intervention comes much earlier, when the test puts you into a cybernetic circuit that splices your will, desire, and perception into a distributed cognitive system in which represented bodies are joined with enacted bodies through mutating and flexible machine interfaces.”
Lastly, the 60% research essay is a bit too heavy for whole assessment and it make me worry and full of pressure. Also, critical annotated webliography is not easy to do too.
