After reading the article about Connectivism, I couldn’t agree more with the author. Technology has indeed changed our way of living: how we communicate and how we learn new things. Thus, I believe we need to adapt to this new theory of Connectivism because there is a lot of different varieties of knowledge on the Internet, for example, you might get 10 billion different search results searching for cooking recipes. We need to know how to filtrate knowledge and do not let it solidify our thinking.

I’ve born in a time when technology is not as advanced as it is right now, and all of the sudden without me realizing it, our life is filled with technology, whether it influences us in a good way also a bad way.

After reading the article “What is a Personal Learning Network”, combined with my own experience, I’m amazed by how Personal Learning Network affects and simplifies our life right now. I experience it from a time when we are mostly learning from books, school and experiences instead of digital information; however, I feel a bit sad that the process of learning is shortened way more than before, I enjoyed the time when you have to try really hard to learning something that you’re interested in bookstores.

We are doing way more on PLN platforms besides learning, and we are developing more platforms. The most recent and famous platform I’m aware of is a new social media platform called Metaverse, and people are buying and selling houses in this virtual reality world, I wonder how will it affect our current life?
