Reflective Post

Much like Jasmine, I found the blog at times challenging due to the amount of people and their ideas. But although there was ten or more posts a week, this also made me understand peoples thoughts better, allowed for information from/about tutorials to be recorded and helped me realise the magnitude and importance of the internet in my life.

While I found the amount of information on the blog confronting and tedious, the ability to read peoples presentations before they presented, refer to their information after they have presented, and the ease of sharing links to pages/things talked about in the tutes was much greater. I found this to be one of the most interesting units not only for its content, but for the fact that tutes were practically recorded, so while I was sick at home I could still find out what had happened in the tutorial.

I feel like I need technology, from a chair to a computer and mobile phone, but would never have considered myself a cyborg. After this unit, I have questioned what a cyborg is and whether I am one, but I am yet to find a definitive answer. I guess that might be part of it- the fact that I am so attached to technology that I can't recognise it.

I really enjoyed the unit and the tutorial discussions, the ease of communicating with the tutorial group and getting information, but found it sometimes difficult to remember what weeks to post on the blog, and what to post. Once I realised the blog's importance to my degree and, in a way, my weekly routine, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thanks!
