Evaluation of the Use of Blogs for Learning Purpose - Tang Lok Sum (Audrey)

Honestly, when I touched with this subject at the first day, I really feel confused about it because the content seems too far away from me or even the definition of cyborg is also debatable. However, after this course and I find that it’s matter and very personal concern of us, and it do so makes the meaning of the word - "Human", has changed because of the technology.

After 12 weeks of courses, I have been from full of doubts till now that I can determine I am a cyborg. Although there is no mechanical on my body which something to keep me alive (Glasses is it?), but I am sure that I can not live without science and technology, I can not imagine if i have no mobile phone, computer or television. Also, as people should keep on learning, if have not the assistant of technology, and I can not connect with the outside world, I would like to believe that my life will be very generic taste and bring a lot of inconvenience, because I am live in an "advanced information" generation and the environment now. If I don't absorb the informations, I would find out how "fall behind" I am or even have much less topical subject with my friends, and it's a part of me.

I just had a blog and kept track of personal life before, and now, this is my first time using the weblog to hand in the homework and have a interactive learning with classmates. I find that it is interesting, like a database here, I can always find the information which I want or receive more knowledge of this subject. With the summary of each present group of students, it is very useful with the comprehensive and summary of each topic, through the classmates comments from the weblog and answer their questions by myself, those can makes me understanding better of it. However, if the individual's homework, such as comment on the introductory post, it would be better and more interactive intensively.

This is a challenging subject, but can help me to aware more of our identity in the technological environment, in particular, the sexualities, gender, race and so on. It makes me bring up the few questions, what and how the evolution of it, why the development of current generation is can not live without technology? Is it because the people are too smart to manufacturing the technology, or technology makes people to be more intelligent? What is the boundary between human and machine? I just want to say, I hope that the technology can bring more comfortable and convenient for human’s life, especially the aspect of use in medicine, and I hope that the people could have self-control ability appropriately. To me, how can I live without the technology less and less more? Maybe I can, when I am old, in retirement, and living in a place where is pollution-free and away from the city.
