Technologies, the Internet, Video Games, World Wide Web, Copyright and Copyleft are just small piece of the topics we have covered during the Digital Cultures course. We have learned what the social networks are and how they might be dangerous if you provide too much personal information. We understood how we form our identity online when we choose our avatars, nick names and when we post links, change our status on Facebook or Twitter for example.
We began to think to what extend the technology is part of our everyday lives and what impact it has on us and our perception of the world and how people create different technologies in order to change this perception of the world and even expand it.
Being a part of a generation that grows up surrounded by technology, we have started to think for the first time how exactly the the technologies have become what they are today, during what stages, forms and images they have gradually transformed.
We have learned to think critically about topics that we are not so familiar and make a research about them. We have looked at the subjects from different points of view in order to understand their nature.
We have had discussions about games ( Video and Board games). We have understood how we get involved in the process of playing a game, what tricks some players use to win or how games are divided in different categories. Even we have experienced what is to be part of a magic circle while playing a board game with other people from the course.
Personally, I have learned to be steady, responsible and write in the blog every week about the topic we have discussed during the lectures and seminars. Moreover, I have learned how to create my own place in the Web, where I can share with the others my opinion freely and let the others to comment.
