Your expectations

Here are some of your hopes for the unit

a broader understanding of how technology is effecting our lives, especially in relation to women		a better understanding of technology's effect on the "organic self" - but also from an artistic point of view
a better understanding of why people blog		connect themes of the unit to feminist theories & principles, where appropriate
6 points		why that guy said the internet was a series of tubes
i hope to learn more about feminism		better knowledge about pop culture
fun learning environment		gain more confidence in expression esp. in blog
to increase my understanding of week 1s reading! currently it doesnt make sense... and as the reader says by the end of the unit it may become clearer!		deeper sense of the relationship between body technology and self and how one impacts/changes the other
dissecting films (and other forms of media) through gendered perspectives		the fine line between human, robot, cyborg & avatar
understanding the gendered relationships presented in media and how this effects cyber space and our everyday lives		i would like to gain more confidence in discussing my own ideas about the course material and about women's and gender studies in general
