Reflective Post

The weblog for me is a new learnig experience, and it is really useful because the particular timeslot for the tute would become more flexible. Also the weblog offers us a longer presentation and comments. We don't necessary attend the tute on the fixed time (because 5-6pm I must have dinner! lol), instead we can post on our comments whenever and wherever we have our thoughts. The course material and the readings are very relevant to the lecture. But I think the workshop can be replaced by the posts and comments in weblog because sometimes the material for these two are duplicated.

Actually,I still have the difficulties of understanding "to be a cyborg" as Donna Haraway suggested. Of course nowadays, our lives are surrounded by technologies. But is it necessarily to collapse those dichotomies: human/machines, natural/artificial, flesh/technologies? Why don't we just merge them when we need them, either separate or together?

It is same as my idea: why don't we have a large weblog without the separation of tute groups and bring with the ideas from other groups together?

One problem for the weblog is that when editing the post or posting the comment, the original post doesn't come up to the top. We cannot identify which one is the most popular post.
