Reflection Blog

Blogs Vs. Tutorials
I found that blogging was far less stimulating than face-to-face discussion, however this may be due to the inconsistency of contribution over the period that we were blogging rather than going to class. As it has already been mentioned our class discussions are usually quite successful, I thought that personally it was a result of lack of structure and authority in the blogs i.e. no tutor meant no discussion.

Cyborg?
I live in a UWA residential college and in just about every single of the 380 rooms there is a laptop or PC that impregnates the space and provides one of the single most important elements in a residents life. This is a rather depressing image but that is the reality of our modern day society and it seems that the cyborg tag is unavoidable. In this respect I think that blogging instead of tutorials is possibly a more negative thing as it encourages more time in front of the computer than interacting with others face-to-face.
