The Pursuit of the Universal Encyclopedia / Choi JaeMin (최재민)

summary

What is Wikipedia's goal?
In making any dictionary, in the process of Wikipedia being created, it was the first priority that users could freely communicate and enjoy pursuing knowledge. Wikipedia is a knowledge information dictionary available to everyone, making it easier for anyone to search, modify, and edit the data, enabling more fun and developmental exploration.

There were some people who created Wikipedia with a clear purpose in creating it. In particular, the goal of creating an encyclopedia for students is to create Wikipedia today.


interesting

It was most impressive that there was a goal to contribute to students in creating Wikipedia. As a same student, I definitely prefer dictionaries like Wikipedia, which can communicate more and interact with others than general dictionaries that are hard and difficult. I think this purpose of Wikipedia has made them one of the most influential encyclopedias of today.


discussion

I wonder what Wikipedia is better than other Internet encyclopedias, and what's good about it is that it will continue to be a positive competitive force as a knowledge portal.

    In fact, I've been using Wikipedia, and it hasn't been that long since I got any information from it, but I think there's definitely something better about it than a regular encyclopedia.

    The information on Wikipedia is alive. For example, let's think of Naver, which we still use a lot. If you type the word in the search box we search for, we can find out the definition and history and so on. But if you look at the date of generating information under the text, it's often quite old information. Of course, I think the information that comes out like this is still useful, but I think it's some 'dead information'. Wikipedia, on the other hand, is a topic that a lot of people take on and discuss content improvement. The hyperlink continues to be created, images are added, and errors created by someone else are corrected in a few days by other people. So we can get 'living' information from Wikipedia.

W10 : Can we think of some example of how Internet has changed our culture? / 박소민(SOMIN PARK)

 1. Summary  The Internet has changed our culture so much. First, through the Internet, we can meet people regardless of distance. People in each country communicated over the Internet and reduced the barriers to distance by creating relationships. Also, the Internet has let us stay away from books. When we want to find expertise, we can get it from Wikipedia or Google. Even information in books can be obtained through e-books, reducing access to libraries and paper books. 2. Interesting point Further to the above, our brains are gradually degenerating because we don't have to remember information. We are constantly interrupted by SNS notifications ringing on our phones when we do something, so our concentration and attention are being reduced. Furthermore, the ease of obtaining information online is causing our short-term memory to decline. 3. Discussion point I think the Internet has made it easy to sever a relationship with a person because we can meet another person simply...

W7: Review of Good Faith Collaboration / Suyoung Han

  Review of Good Faith Collaboration 1) Summary – Wikipedia from an ethnographic perspective: focusing on collaboration within the community Wikipedia, which is called the world's largest encyclopedia, is an open community and is becoming more and more solid with the participation of various people, conflict, and resolution. In this respect, Joseph M. Reagle Jr. attempted to explain the culture that takes place within Wikipedia. The book describes how Wikipedia was created and what it values. In particular, he described Wikipedia in a book from an ethnographic point of view, and focused on cooperation within the community. 2) Interesting Point – Wikipedia is simple, but not I realized that Wikipedia is not just a site made up of community activities, but rather a collaborative activity that is carried out concretely for the goal. Before I read the book, Wikipedia was an encyclopedia site that only gave me information (even I didn't trust the information), and I thought ...

w9: Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? LiuXinlei

 Its often said by teachers that “Wikipedia is a good place to start, but a bad place to finish” why? In terms of the comprehensiveness of the content, we have to admit the advantages of Wikipedia. For example, Wikipedia is undoubtedly my first choice when I don't understand an event at all. It is convenient, fast and comprehensive, and I can spend the least time to understand the whole content of this fact as comprehensively and neutrally as possible. But in the process of in-depth learning, Wikipedia can only be used as an introductory content, because in learning we need to understand this fact as much as possible, and we need to understand the different views of scholars in different regions on the same event. There will be different theories. Some theories seem to be not neutral or even discriminatory or ethnographic at present (such as Marxism and Marxism in China), and it is not suitable for Wikipedia. Be shown. In short, Wikipedia has a very low threshold for users. It assu...
