Danny's reflection

I think this course is very helpful. First of all, the content is quite "new" for me, as I never thought about the problem of cybrog and do not know there are courses discussing it. The course is a bit philosophic to me, questions about cybrog are all about the future, althought something is actually happening around us, but I still got a feeling that they are quite far away from us, why we need to dicuss them? It is just like the situation of philosophy, the topic is quite abstract that we are hard to make connection with our daily life, but of course, this doesn't mean it is not important, it can help us thing logiclly and to notice the moral problem of technology. I think it's very helpful with the form of discussion  during the turorial class, since we have got more examples with our daily life, help us to link the the concepts of lectures to our living. I think this is important for learning.

But as I mentioned, I think some of the content of this course is too abstract, it is hard to encourage students to be interested in them. And most of the examples in lectures are foreign's one, they are a bit far away from us, and may be the cultural difference could provide differnet approachs to some concept, and raise the interest of students.
