blog evaluation

using this blog for learning purposes was a new experience for me, and one that i am quite neutral about.. It provides a different way to move through the unit yet i didn't see too much benefit to it.
almost everything on here we discussed in lectures and tutorials, except for points of interest that people found throughout the week. i guess it was just like using webct, just in a different environment. so i think it probably works for some, and not for others, but for me it was just a different way to keep updated on goings ons in the unit.

whether i regard myself as a cyborg or not, interesting question... when i think of cyborg i imagine a half being, half robot, like on the front of the unit outline but when i really think about, i guess we all kind of are cyborgs. in a technological sense, there is no way we could survive without it. if my phone dies/leave it home, i feel lost for the whole day- i feel out of the loop and like im missing a part of me (which really sounds quite sad). same with the internet, if my internet is down for the day, i find myself constantly checking its status to see whether its up or not! so in that sense, yes i think we are all cyborgs.

i found this unit to be pretty interesting, it raised some points that really made me think hard and consider different view points. i enjoyed the discussions we had in tutorials, i found everyone really engaged with them and all viewpoints were welcome.

now, to get back to this essay... ciao :-)
