Haze's reflection on the course

This course is really something new to me that I have never get in touch with before. The concept of cyborg and the impacts of advancement of technology do open up my mind. The concept of cyborg let us to rethink about our future that is how we can combined with computer or cyber technology to address disability or enhanced body ability; yet it does faced a dilemma that is the development is also something like playing god, committed with immoral aspects and other unexpected hazards (e.g. Everyone got relied on cyborg technology, if one day the device gone down, what will we become?). It is certain kind of new concept making us to be debunking, especially about the matter of absolute boundaries.

Apart from cyborg, the topic of resistance really captured my attention as its discussion on the culture of Internet online communities and forums was definitely what usually happened in our daily life. Personally, I almost view the forum called Hkgolden everyday which is famous in Hong Kong as its contents always related to subculture and online bullying. This topic made me to think more about the problem created in certain area, rethink how advancement of technology is not a double-edge sword, it also brings trouble to our life. Besides, it also let me understanding how irresponsible that online communities, forum or users can be.

The subject is interesting and helpful to our living. Yet, perhaps I had never studied about certain subjects before, there could be really difficulties for me to understand all about it. Anyway, this course is creative and critical but it could be better if there is no essay to hand in although I do believe it is impossible.
