My Reaction to Cyberspace


Those icons above can basically describe my first reaction to the vast world of cyberspace. The title of this icon is called "Stressed." The natural reaction to anything that you won't, can't, or just don't have the time to understand, is stress. However, after hours of practice and perseverence has paid off for me as I conquer my fear of the virtual world of cyberspace.

As for being in a generational cyber community with my fellow classmates, that's a totally different experience. Instead of starting from scratch each semester and not knowing anything about the class, we actually read what the previous generations have done and actually continue where they left off! That is such a breakthrough in the educational curriculum this student has ever seen.

Looking at other classes and how they are setup, the professors tend to only change their quizzes and exams so that his/her students can't cheat from the previous classes. This setup only allows for the professor to share his knowledge with hardly any feedback from the students. Professor James on the other hand has the opportunity not only to guide his students throughout the semester, he also has the opportunity to interact with his students and learn from us bright and upcoming psychologists. So in turn for his tutorship, he also learns from his disciples.

The idea of being in a generational curriculum makes me feel like I'm in a classroom that will never die. Also, being on the everchanging wings of technology, our recorded knowledge throughout the years can only encourage others to do the same.
