Reflections on Self.net

One of the things that I was the most apprehensive about when I first considered doing this unit is how much of it was going to be online. Prior to doing this unit I had read other people’s blogs and seen others, however, I had never written one. I tend to be a little techno-phobic so I guess doing this unit was a way of really overcoming that.
Posting on Blogger was a lot easier that I anticipated and it was really enjoyable reading other people’s posts. It opened up a lot of ideas for me that I hadn’t even considered. I would definitely encourage the coordinators of the unit to keep this as a major part of this unit.
I suppose the only thing that was a little disappointing for me was that the whole semester I’ve had a clash with another unit so I’ve had to alternate weeks for attendance. But in regards to combatting this problem, at least for me, I think that the online workshops were great.
So do I think I’m a cyborg? In a way yes, I suppose it depends on what definition of cyborg that you go by. I think I’m a cyborg because I sometimes use computers (this blog being a good example) in order to express myself. I think that the computer becomes an extension of my mind for a while in the same way that my voice box is a part of me when I speak.
