Reflection: Finding Balance

Firstly, I have to say that this is by far the most pleasant module that I have experienced. With the first topic being so relevant, it engaged me cognitively and triggered my curiosity. Never would I have paused to think about my classification as a digital user. It is interesting to see how people can be classified as “Residents”, “Visitors”, “Natives” and “Immigrants”.

Topic 1 – Reflection Time

(Image Credits) My comments on other pages: Zoey & Gin Before attempting on writing topic 1 regarding digital visitors and residents. I did not have any prior knowledge about this terms. But after writing that blog post I realized how our interactions on the web can be categories under digital visitors or resident. As well as how the technology has evolve creating a platform for us to “live” on. Continue reading →

Reflection | Topic One

My comment on Vivian’s post My comment on Brenden’s post The internet or digital world constantly affects our lives significantly, whether we know it or not. After reading my own post and its comments as well as reading and commenting on those of Vivian and Brenden, my views on topic 1 were enriched, with things that I didn’t give much thought to before.

Topic 1 Reflection #MANG2049

Reading most of my peers blogs have given me greater insights into their interpreation of the topic at hand. Continue reading →

Who are you online?

Great point shared by Vivian and interesting personal experiences from Shafiq! Made my comments. ~ Before having an in-depth research into the topic of digital ‘residents’ and ‘visitors’, I was not aware of the different classifications of the way individuals engage on the web. I would simply categorize people into tech-savvy and non-tech-savvy individuals; or individuals who are preoccupied with social presence and individuals who prefer not to disclose their private life.

Topic 1: Reflection
