Two of the 5 elements bothered me as I couldn't make my way to understand them. Below are the elements that I did not understand:
- point #3 Critical analysis- how do I question my assumptions/ values/ believes? I don't think I am used to questioning things too much
- point #5 An outcome of reflection- a summary of what I learned? I think I do learn something from articles I read but I am really unsure of how do I write it down? To me, what I learn is just "so simple" that I get the feeling of "is-that-considered-learning? how-do-I-note-it-down"?
I worked my way to clarify those 2 issues by talking to some people.
I'd like to give a shot and re-do a reflection on technology being digital.
Seeing the terms analog technology and digital technology brings up a point in my mind. These two terms remind me the definition of technology which I used to misunderstand it.
My definition of technology are tools that's only related to ICT such as the computers, mobile phones, television, food blender and speakers. However, I learned from the Identify the ICT quiz that ICT was so different than what I thought it was and I wrote about it too.
I believed that technology are ICT tools. However according to my initial concept of ICT I find that my definition of technology contradicts. Why is this? It is because an object may be of a technology but it does not necessary mean its an ICT tool.
For an instance, an analog watch is a technology but is not an ICT tool. To be exact, it is an analog technology. "When we say something is analog, we often simply mean that it's not digital: the job it does, or the information it handles, doesn't involve processing numbers electronically."
However, a smart watch is a digital technology. Digital technology means the object is an ICT as the works in it are computerized. Technology does not simply mean ICT. Technology according to dictionary.com is the creation and use of technical means which has the connection to various aspects such as environment, art, social and science. What about analog technology and digital technology?
I shall now define technology as a form of tool of various aspects. Technology has now involve ICT and the term has grown from an analog technology to digital technology.
