After a semester of studying, I found that learning with the assist of weblog is quite useful. As this is my very first time to learning through I weblog, I found that it is convenient and easy to handle, though I was not familiar with it at the very beginning. Through the weblog, I can submit assignment and review my classmates’ understanding of this course. Also, the post we made, such as uploading presentation outline, which can improve the understanding and reminding my interpretation of classmate’s presentation.
In general, I think this course is interesting as this course discussed the recent influences on our live and self identity introduced by technology, but sometime it is too abstract which is quite difficult to understanding comprehensively.
After study this course, I believed that myself is a cyborg. In Donna Haraway, "A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century," she came up an idea that human could not live without technology, which as a human, we are highly depending on technology. To take an example, we have clothing; we wear glasses if we have short eye-sight, which is produced artificially and non-organism. Also, we cannot live without computer, internet and mobile too, as these are the very important and main ways of communication between us. Because I am highly depend on these technologies, I think I have became a cyborg as well.
