Brief reflection:
  This course provides me the first chance to write blogging which is for academic purpose. At the beginning of writing the blog, I just feel this is an essential assessment that I have to submit several words on my blog. But after learning more about digital media, I find I am being interested in writing blogs to share my feeling towards different issues about the course, not just for assessment. .It is really a good platform for doing that as it allows people to comment on each other's view as well.

  The reason I choose the above one to be my sample post is because it's the most controversial topic in my blogs. In the post I pointed out that we are controlling the technology as we use them for our convenience. However, I received different  comments from my schoolmates that bring out different point of view. And that helps me to think more about the question as it includes some ideas that i haven't considered before, like the idea of active and passive controlling. And this kind of interaction is really good for our learning as it can makes all of us think deeper.

  At last, I have to thanks everyone who read my blog and leave comments to me. Wish you enjoy your blogging experience too :)

Should technology involve too much in workplace??

 

  Nowadays, many companies use technology not only for their work, but also for management in the workplace. Besides web-monitoring used by boss to his subordinates, there are more and more companies using social media for communication within the  workplace. That may be a website that allows personal conversation, document transfer, or even an online conference for the use of workers.

  With this technology, workers can work for a whole day without meeting their colleagues. It may increase the efficiency but damage the relationship between workers in the same company as their interaction is greatly reduced. Even they may have communication online, but they may not able to know each other deeply without meeting each other. In my opinion, relationship between workers in the same workplace is more important than their personal ability. If they can cooperate well, I believe that outcome of job will be much better than an individual work. As technology is somehow destroying the relationships between workers, I don't suggest putting too much of it into workplace.
