Throughout the semester, I learned a lot more about the connection between the technology and humanity. The innovation of technology can be inspirited and or influenced by world events. We human thrive on new ideas, and making the impossible possible. The world is constantly evolving due to the human curiosity, and dedication. Those technology help shape and innovate us on a daily bases. Our quality of life improve dramatically, and we were able to gain better insight on our world, and the people around us. Throughout the reading in class, I gain a much better understanding on not just the history of the innovations of some digital technology, but also their impact, both positive and negative effect. I had a whole new perspective on our digital technology. Before I would simply view them as a tool for us to use(while that’s true), but it’s so much more than that. When there is an innovation or technology advancement being praised or popularized, we tend to be blindsided by it. While its amazing to see what those technology can do to improve our quality of life. We have to be careful and look at the bigger picture. People tend to find the negative impact and influence later on, and it might be too late. In order to use the technology to its full potential and take advantage of it effectiveness, its important to understanding not just its purpose, but also the connection between the user and the technology.
The Eli review assignment that we do throughout the course really improved my writing. I thought the revision and peer review would be repetitive. A well constructive writing requires a lot of revision and rewrite. Criticisms and feedback can really help the writer on certain aspect of the writing. Through Eli Review, we were able to give feedback, comment, advise to our peers. I was able to rewrite and add more content on my writing thanks to my peers. Not only do I become a better writer by listening to the feedback, but also give feedback to others. I was able to gain a broader perspective, and help strengthen my ideas. At first I was having a little trouble giving constructive feedback to my peers, since I wasn’t familiar with this format. Later on, I found the review process quite intriguing, being able to view other people’s perspective on the same topic. I learned the importance of peer reviewed feedback, it really helped with my writing.
