After these twelve weeks, I have found that blogging can be a very useful learning tool. In the past, I will make use of blog as a tool to record my daily life or feelings. But I have never thought of any academic purpose, this course had given me a chance to discover a new way to use blogging. It is great to have a platform that we can share our findings or feelings with our classmates. I believed that it has created a win-win situation. While you posted the information on the blog, you can read others’ post as to widen our reading horizon.
I will regard myself as an involuntary cyborg. The reason for me to sit in front of my computer, most of the time is doing homework. At my leisure time, I seldom use computer. I would prefer going out with my family or friends, have some outdoor activities rather than sitting in front of this cold machine. In recent years, there is a large improvement in technology, people can easily access to the Internet by the mobile phones, iPads or tablets. Actually, I think that this is not a good scenario to the society. When you travel by public transportation, it is not difficult to see a lot of people busy with their own “business”. Everyone is tapping on their cell phones. I always see couple busy with their iPhones and having no conversation all through the journey. There is no doubt that technology has greatly improved our quality of life. However, I think that it has greatly widened the distance between people. Nowadays, people always communicate with others by sms, msn or whatsapp, etc. This technology seems shorten the distances between people in some other places. But how about the person besides us? I believed that this is a question that deserved our introspection.
This unit has brought to me a lot of new concepts such as cyborg which I have never heard before. And it had give me a lot of chance to explore on the Internet.
