Heya!
So, the final post. Dun dun duuun!
I have rather enjoyed the blog experience. It's made this unit interesting, interactive and different. Of course, there are some problems such as I had no idea what to put on the blog and found that people were not terribly interactive but I can understand that it was rather daunting and a little awkward even.
Now the fun question, am I a cyborg?
My body is not. I am totally biodegradable and have not been made part of the Borg collective. However, through technology people have created a space that is totally virtual. I don’t just mean the Internet, I also mean through telephones and television. And I cannot deny that I am, like everyone else, part of this space or at least part of me is. We are all part of a system, and can be thought of as part of a cyborg.
This unit has presented interesting ideas about the world we live in currently. My aim problem with it was the timing of the handouts. I think the research essay questions and what was expected of us out if the blog and webliography could have been given much earlier and would have made for a better unit.
BORG WOOH!
ReplyDeleteSo, I read the first two words oh your title and knew this was your post haha. I like how you describe yourself as 'biodegradable'. It's a fascinating and glorious term in relation to the human connection to technology and cyborg definition. I love it!
BUT, I also want you to know that next time I have to fill out a questionnaire about myself 'biodegradable' is going to be right there with 'brown eyes', 'average height' &c.
