The weblogs function as a platform that allow me learn more about this course. The presentations of other classmates help me to know more about the readings. It is better than study the readings by myself. Besides, the weblogs facilitate practical experience of the concepts we learnt from the lessons.
To sum up, this course enables me critically evaluate the way identity is articulated via CMC. Also, it helps me develop critical skills of more generic utility relating to understand and evaluating identity, knowledge, texts and media in both offline and online contexts.
For me, the impressive concept I learnt from this course is cyborg. Doubtlessly, I am a cyborg. Although there are different definitions of cyborg, it is a word that was consisted of cybernetic and organism. I believe cyborg referred to a human being with bodily functions aided or controlled by technological devices, such as an oxygen tank, artificial heart valve or insulin pump. Over the years, the term has acquired a more general meaning, describing the dependence of human beings on technology. In this sense, cyborg can be used to characterize anyone who relies on a computer to complete their daily work. hence, with the aids of glasses, medicine, etc, I become a cyborg.
