Tammy's reflective post

After twelve weeks learning, I found that the use of weblogs is good for my learning, because we can learn from the peers. Our tutorial group forms an online community, it really helps to make the theoretical concept in practice. As it is an interactive platform, we can raise our ideas and give responses to the others. Therefore, we can learn from other’s strength and improve our weakness.

As we have discussed a lot about the cyborg in our course, I discovered that I have been a cyborg unconsciously. Nowadays, technology and human are merged together, it is hard to separate from our daily life. I reflected that the technological devices, such as mobile phone and computer, are important for my daily communication. Without the mobile phone, I will lose a sense of security. Therefore, it is time to alert the negative impact of the technological development. Do we have less time for face to face interaction? I think we should consider more about the relationship with others.

All in all, I quite enjoy the mode of learning, because we can have effective learning through the weblogs. However, I have the difficulty in understanding the readings, because most of the examples are picked from a very early stage. So, I need to spend more time to realize the examples. It is the most disliked part. Perhaps the development of computer and internet are moving too fast.
