Starting Out - Week 5

Starting Out

Week 5, Project Task 


The topic of the project my group and I will be doing is “My Cyborg Future”. This topic is about the future of technology, artificial intelligence, and synthetic body parts. 


I choose this topic because I am invested in learning about the changes and development of technology in our future. I like the debate of whether or not AI or robots will take over and just how far technology can develop. 


While researching this topic, I have learned a lot of information I did not know before researching. I learned a lot about how synthetic body parts work and how they can help a person regain function. I find it extremely fascinating to see how our body can connect with a synthetic part. 


What interests me most is seeing how becoming part cyborg can extend our human potential. I am curious about if in the future people would be willing to install a synthetic part into themself and that if our world will become so advanced and rely on technology more than we do now. I am also interested in learning the science behind it all. How our own nervous system can communicate with a built world. 


I am looking forward to researching more for this project.

Study Skills

  Study Skills Week 3, Video tasks In the series of videos that I watched, I learned many study skills from them to set myself up for success and make my college life a little bit easier. In the first video, 'The 3 Best science-based study tips' uses many different resources from universities and professional studies. Mike states that he is a doctor working in California. He shows evidence-based learning strategies about how to study for exams and how to train our brains effectively while backing everything up by science.  What I learned is that the more brainpower and effort one uses, the more retention one will get. This is because you can learn more under difficult conditions since it would be harder to forget. This had made me realise why many people in my life had told me that trying to study lying down or on your bed won't work as well, this now makes sense as to why.  There is a study by Kornell that states ultimately quizzing yourself is a great strategy for study...

Peer Review #1

Peer Review #1 Week 5, Reading Task  For this week's reading task, we were asked to review a blog from 2 of our peers. I had received two blogs that I found very well written and it was interesting and insightful to see how they differed from mine and each other.  I learned a lot from reading these blogs by my fellow classmates. I learned that people have very different writing styles even if it is writing on the same topic and I personally found that really engaging.  I also learned that everything can always use some constructive criticism or advice. Although the blogs I have read were exceptional and written great, there was still room for improvement.  I had also compared my peer's blogs and my blogs to gain insight on how I can also improve my blogs. Their blogs also helped me how to reference since I found it difficult to insert references into my blogs. The blogs I read taught me a lot about how people's opinions can differ so much and it was interesting to re...
