Today is the last last lesson of TWC...which means all the final exams are coming and it is going to be really stressed and busy with all the mugging. I got to be thankful that for TWC, the finals is open book! this definitely lessen my mugging and memorising of notes. But it still does not mean I do not have to prepare much for it! Today is the concluding lesson for this TWC module and it is time for me to look back through all the lessons and reflect on what I've learnt so far...I can say that this course has been really meaningful to me and I've learnt a lot from it. It has also ignited my interest in technology... I think this module generally appeal more to guys with all the cool high tech technology gadgets and inventions. I've learnt more about technology in general and its impacts on us, it's consequences, it's advantages and disadvantages. This term technology is very broad and wide and covers so many aspects of our lifes. It affects every single thing that we're using, or living on. Right now, I'm in my room with the aircon full blast taking a relief from the hot sunny weather, I have to thank technology for this. This computer that Im using to blog and pen down my thoughts (coupled with many other uses for it eg. games,work,online surfing) is all thanks to technology. We humans have progressed and modernised so much at an alarming rate, and technology has helped create a huge impact on the world. But with technology advances, not everyone will benefit. Technology has caused many problems in the world, global warming, greenhouse effects, pollutions and the widening income gap. These problems are not easy to solve and much has to be worked on and looked at.
Today's presentations are generally well done and well prepared probably due to them working on their website and presentations based on the previous session of presentations. The first group presented on music which is one of my interest! the group talks about the progress and change in music recording format, from the olden vinyl disc to cd to mp3... Thank godness for the invention of mp3 that's how I can enjoy portable music on the go. Kudos to this invention! Next, the second group presented on technology and its implications for food and nutrition. Following on, the third group presented on vaccines and gave us a good future predictions of vaccines. The last group presented on crime tracking which reminds me of CSI type. The layout of the website is very well done and it provides clear information and allows me to easily access all the information.
This is finally the end of my TWC module (although there's a final exam yet to come) and I've thoroughly enjoyed myself in the interesting class discussions and I've gained many new insights and knowledge to things that I never knew. Personal rating 10/10 for this module. Thumbs up! :)
