1) I think that we are all, as students, pretty much influenced by teleological time. We have one goal: To graduate. We try our best to reach it. We go to school, study, do our homework and so on and so forth. So as students, teleological time is quite influent.
However, I do other things in my life, I’m not only a student, I have a part time job, I have friends, I enjoy watching movies and singing, etc. I would say that my life is then a mix of teleological time and stellar time. My life is affected in multiple ways by different elements and situations. Sometimes I plan to do something, like going on vacation to France visiting my friends there, but some unexpected event happened – my visa application got rejected. In some cases even if you have a very specific goal, intermingling scenarios can slightly or totally change your plans and alter your final goal.
I consider teleological and stellar time as the most influential time for my life.
I wasn’t really affected much by what others wrote on Twitter. However, it did help me to understand my peers better since we only meet each other couple hours a week. Even though nothing unanticipated really happened that ruptured my daily construct of living in Twitter, I felt really good of reading what happened in others’ life. For example, when I’m studying for my exam and I see someone who is also study for his/her exam, I feel like I have a partner who share the same goal with me. Then, I don’t feel like I’m fighting this alone.
2) While reading the hypertext for the first time I’ve found the layout a bit cramped and noticed that I was attracted to the works whose letters l or i are stuck to another letter. At the first reading I was more trying to recognize every word than understanding the whole thing.
Once I read the entire text I look back and notice some different lightening on some words, but at first I thought every word received the same lightening.
After a second reading, where I pay much more attention to the meaning of the story, I found myself I very attracted to the special lighting words, that I didn’t notice before.
I was indeed attracted to some words more than others differing from my first reading to my second one, but I have no idea on what this might say about me. Maybe this says a simple thing: I’m Taiwanese, English is not my mother tongue, so when I read I try to be really careful about each word one after another to make sure I understand everything.

I agree with your point that the tweeter activity enhanced your understanding of your classmates.This activity has been a success because of it. Not only has this activity helped us feel more comfortable with each other in class but within our specific groups as well. To further elaborate on the benefits of Tweeter, I see two benefits from Tweeter. First is simply the use of the internet. The widespread use of computers and technology as a whole is increasingly important. Also, the use of tweeter creates a comfortable class setting. It makes us more at ease to speak in class and eases the process of networking with classmates.
ReplyDeletei completely compel with your point. it was actually fun with twitter. In fact i could not post it much often but i able to read everyone post. We have the ability to say whatever and put it in terms of anything because we are being clear with out talks there. i also found the text really confusing. i had to read it again and again then i understood some points.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the twitter activity.
ReplyDeleteIt makes people to come close to each others in there daily life. I really enjoyed it.
