Karen's Reflection

Internet is very convenient for us to share our own experiences and ideas. I think using a blog for learning can provide more chance for us to communicate with others; it helps us to find out something that we never thought before. However, for me, I won’t use a blog to share my own experience. The most reason is “privacy”. Nowadays, many people like to use a blog for dairy and share many photos or own words with their friends or even strangers. Since everyone has their own reasons and interests, I am not going to negate them or comment anything. But for me, I think using a blogs for learning is suitable; but it’s not suitable for writing dairy. I cannot understand why I need someone to comment my daily life (except what I write is for sharing or I want to get response), I write it because I want to remember it, not the others. And many times, it will become a pressure.

Besides, I agree that technology become more and more important in our daily life; but it also brings out many problems. The line between real life and virtual seems blurring, and there are some people cannot escape from their virtual life. The terms “cyborg” and “posthuman” are new for me, and it’s a part of what I learnt from this course. Many things that we can meet in our daily life, or even from newspaper, but I never think about its meaning. Therefore, this course is very new for me, what it talking about are some concepts that we can find out and apply to the phenomenon nowadays. It helps us to thinks a question “what is the relation between human and non-human”.
