This course talks about the communicative environments of the digital age to examine the impact on identity, with particular emphasis on gender, sexualities, race and class. It also brings us a “new” theory, the cyborg theory.
To be frank, I really like this theory and think it is very interesting, because it moves beyond the traditional dichotomous boundaries that all people already used to. It leads us rethink about the gender, race and class constitution, and especially rethink about the identity, which whether I am human being or I am a cyborg.
In fact, this theory makes me regard myself as a cyborg, since I am now wearing glasses, and typing my reflection into the computer. I am fusing myself with the technology. The more important is, I am sure that I cannot survive without the help of technology, so I regard myself is a totally cyborg.
Overall, I found that blog is quite useful for interactive learning. It is a good platform for discussion, sharing and expressing ideas. Firstly because it is easy to use, secondly it is very interactive. People can have direct reflection on your points and also you can read and know other’s point of view on different topics. Therefore, I think blog is a great and new learning platform and method.
