I think the term that I always hear in the course is “cyborg”. Initially, I am very surprised to hear that we are “cyborg”. At least I wouldn’t expect glasses can turn us into “cyborg”. But then, I believed that I am a cyborg as my life becomes inseparable from the technologies. For example, I use my mobile phone to store up others’ phone number. And, once my computer is broken down, all my data and photos cannot be restored, I feel extremely moody as if I have lost part of my important memories. Technologies surround my life and influence my sentiment, and honestly, I cannot live without them.
As to the weblog, although I am used to post some dairies on my blog, this is fresh for me to submit my assignment in this form. Posting the Webliography on the blog and leaving comments to others are useful for exchanging opinions on the topic, helping us to have greater understanding about it. The outline of presentation also gives us a clearer concept of what others are going to say, which makes me easier to follow the presentation.
Finally, I think this course can help us to go deep into the relationship between human being and technology and the concept of “self” in this digital age in theoretical perspectives. But it is hard for me to understand all of them since I don’t have such fundamental knowledge or concept about this topic as well as the difficulty of absorbing those difficult theories.
