My name is Renu and i am an English speaking Singaporean Indian Aussie- its really not that hard to get your head around:)
I must say i am quite excited to embark on this journey of blogging, i cannot believe i have not gotten into it earlier. I think i should re-allocate some facebook time and start up my own blog page instead! After doing the readings for this week, i was inspired by all the different things blogs can achieve!
This is my final semester of my Communications degree- i am extremely excited, but also nervous at the same time. However, i am not at all worried about what the start of next year holds for me. I quite like the idea of unpredictability.
I read this quote a while ago and i would like to share it with you:
"If they give you lined paper, write the other way, but in a language they know"- In essence, i perceive this quote to be about individuality and your own interpretation of ideas, issues or anything that life just might throw at you. It made me think "are we a product of society?"Or is "society a product of us"?
As for sharing a link with you, i watched a clip on YouTube about two weeks ago called technoculture: human and technology. It was a very simple video about what are the various aspects of technology were and how it relates to human life. Some of the things they mentioned i never really thought about.
Here is the link, check it out if you can.

Looking forward to seeing you guys tomorrow afternoon.

Hey Renu,
ReplyDeleteI like your excitement for unpredictability. Imagine how mundane it would all be if we could predict? I too enjoy not know what tomorrow holds. And with regards to the quote about writing sideways on lined paper; It makes me wander if people in general feel open to or confronted by things that are out of the ordinary? Things (including people)that go against the "norm." Its like walking into a packed elevator and instead of walking in and turning around to face the door, you walk in and don't turn around and stand in there facing the people. How would people react? Thus, I think society or our individual experience of society, is a product of us. I definitely think we shape our own realities.
Cheers, :)
maybe being human means being technological?
ReplyDeletewhich technologies had you not considered before?
