Reflective Post

Throughout the entire course, i found that i have a deeper understand towards the relationship between human body and technology. As i believed that human and technology were two seperated objects, we created technology and therefore, we could have the ability in controlling it. However, the fact is not what i imagine, the truth is we were being controlled by technology today. we cannot survive without cellphones, computers, Internet or mp3, etc. we rely on technology too much nowadays and they have became our daily necessities.
It seems that technology has brought us convenience, yes it is true but there are dangers occured at the same time. there are so many crimes or illegal activities related to Internet nowadays, as it is hard to control the activities online. there is a horrible case in HK recently, a 16 years old girl was murdered by 2 guys that she met on msn and her dead body has not been found yet. Besides, there are so many fake bank websites appear online or hacker that attacked our personal computer to steal our privacy. I feel that it is not safe as the technology is all around us and there is no way for us to avoid it. and i found that i have become a cyborg unconsciously as i cannot imagine my life without cell pohne or computer. attending this course has help me in understanding the importance of technology and the cyborg elements have injected into human body.
