Phoebe’s Reflection Post

Thought out the past twelve weeks, the course helped me to understand more about issues in the digital age. I think this course is very useful and has taught me much knowledge in my life. I think this subject is very difficult for me but I am very happy to study it. I learnt much knowledge in the lesson. For example, what is a Cyborg? The identity issues in “Facebook”, “My Space”, and establishing friendship in cyberspace.

Nowadays, human and machines have very close relationships, we are using many technological products in our daily life. For example, we use mobile phone to keep in contact and talk to people everyday; we use computer to do homework and search information in the internet; we use student cards to define personal information, to login to the school library and borrow books. Therefore, I agree high-tech products can convenient human daily life.

I enjoyed tutorial presentation and discussion with my classmates. Because we could brainstorm many ideas to the questions raised. Because of each question from each group’s presentation do not have a standard answer. So each person would explain their suggestions from different perspectives. We have many interactions in the lessons and the weblog. It encourages more classmates to sharing their opinions. I think the structure of the course with the use of the weblog is very meaningful and it helps us to learn effective.

In the research essay, I feel quite difficult because we have fifty percent of this course in total. Therefore, I need to look for many books and then need to point out examples to support my argument in the essay. Although this research essay is a big challenge for me, I will try my best to do it. Towards the end, I want to thank Ms. Franco Lai and Prof. Alison Bartlett for teaching us. I have learnt a lot of useful and meaningful knowledge in this subject. Finally, I wish all my classmates the best in their research essays!
