Well, it’s coming to the end of my journey on digital culture. Before I submit my final summary of my lifestream, I would like to just have another blog to express my journey through the course.
I have enjoyed the course but I must admit it was not an easy journey for me. I found it difficult to divide my time between the “anologue” culture and the digital culture. I have not managed to contribute daily towards my lifestream (as suggested by the course) as I just haven’t got the luxury called time. My daily activities are divided among being a mother, wife and career person plus a student. Another barrier is the poor wifi coverage, even at digital library forum!!! It’s not just happened once but on four occasions where I had to attend or facilitate courses. It reminded me of the dystopia theme where machine rules and how human are afraid that they might lose control. Hence they feel the need to control how other human access and using the technology – restrict access to wifi and Mas cannot use her iPod Touch!!!
If digital lifestream is about pulling your social websites together what about my other digital activities such as accessing e-mail and using Google search to find information? These are my digital activities to help me learning, especially using the search engines looking for information or accessing college electronic resources.
I struggled to use Flickr to reflect my learning as I just could not or haven’t got the time to produce an image to be uploaded onto the site which could reflect the learning for the course. I might be able to produce the images but to upload them – time and sometimes the technology are not on my side.
Anyway, what I’m trying to say here is even though you are up for the digital challenge but sometimes it go against you and it is all down to human who just doesn’t like to see other human enjoying, liking and benefits from it.
