The literal meaning of the word "Weblogs" in Hong Kong is online dairy. The translation of this word is really bad. In general, the use of weblogs functions as online dairy in Hong Kong. I am not sure whether it is relate to the bad translation or not. In fact, the use of weblogs is not only function as online dairy. The functions of Weblog are highly specified: for example, online daily, politic, journalism, academia and so forth. As we required posting the six mandatory posts on the Weblog, it offers us an opportunity to practice the use of Weblog. We can see others classmates' posting in the Weblog. It is great. Their posting can be given more than one interpretation, so that I can get some news idea from their posting. In addition, I can made response to them.
The idea of cyborg made a great impression on me. Initially, I interpret cyborg as robot. After the class, I realize that cyborg can be defined as a hybrid of machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction. At that time, I also did not believe that I am cyborg. However, Verdy has explained that if someone who wears glasses, the person is regard as the cyborg too. I wear glasses and contact lenses. I use skincare product. Thus, I am a cryborg. I seldom put on make-up and I uphold nature. I think I am nature, but, in fact, I am not nature. Actually, the skincare brand, NATURE'S, is not nature.
All in all, I enjoy this course. I think it is worthwhile to study this course. I liked the topic of playing game most about the unit in general. I also liked the topic of digital gender. It offers me a chance to understand and rethink about the relationship between the identity, gender, race in the digital age.
