Melody Chan's Reflective Post

Weblogs for me…
In fact, my personal weblog is always for “chit chat” purpose, say something about my recent or current situation and get comment from my several close friends. In a way, it can be regarded as a kind of interaction and communication as it helps to establish a link between the two people in different places, but apparently this kind of connection, you know, as it can’t give an immediate message, it can’t be seen as a kind of effective communication.

Undoubtedly, this tutorial weblog also contains the above trait. Well, luckily, for learning purpose, this weblog is worked for me, through the introductions of my classmates at the very beginning of the course, I know more about them, and I have clarification on who is xxx and who is yyy finally (I have great difficult memorizing names of people, my weakness sigh Orz).

Besides, I think it’s very great that we can share our works here. For one thing, I can find that different people have different interpretations for one discussion/topic, observing this is one of my enjoyments. For the other, as people may leave comment, in such a delicate situation, I have to weight my words.

Thus, for learning purpose, this weblog is worked for me.

I am a cyborg or not
I think the answer is obvious. All stuffs fill in my daily life are my cell-phone, my computer, my NDSL, my i-pod; all things I do everyday are updating my dairy in website/ xanga, chatting with friends via MSN/ email, browsing forums/ blogs of people…..Well, if all these things that I’ve done are not enough to be regarded as cyborg, I think I am turning cyborg-ese. B-)

About this course…
I like this course in that I like gender studies. Most of the readings in this course gave me an inspiration of the relationship between cyberspace and women. To be honest, I am not familiar with “cyber rape”, “cyber punk”…..I just have an indistinct idea of these topics at the very beginning. This course arouses my interest in examining the relations of sexual binary in relation to the development of cyberspace.

There is a blemish in an otherwise perfect thing which is we should learn these interesting topics under pressure (essay, presentation…)….well…just kidding xD


Thank you Alison, thank you Wesley, thank you all my classmates, thank you for so many good comments.
