W2 : Why Wikipedia? / Suyoung Han

 Why Wikipedia?



1) Summarize – Why do we understand Wikipedia?

Wikipedia which looked like an unstable tower built by educated people in the past has received a completely different evaluation in modern times. Wikipedia is not only evaluated as an interesting activity, but also favored as a huge production involved in people's lives and cultures.

Today the use of Wikipedia has been regarded as the most representative method of using digital tools, and we want to understand the advantages of Wikipedia more and more through this class.

 

2) Interesting items learned – Digital illiteracy (With Ted video – Would you agree with?)

Through the Ted video, I realized that the current young generation is very good at dealing with digital tools, but is close to practical illiteracy who does not know how to apply them well. I also learned the difference between knowing how to handle digital tools and being fluent. In the video, being fluent doesn't end with learning, but rather expressing, realizing, and using it as an opportunity to grow oneself.

Through this video, I realized that learning Wikipedia is not just an opportunity to work on a wiki, but also an opportunity to express what I want to the world.

 

3) Discussion angle – Is “theoretical” knowledge is really useless? (Would you agree this?)

I oppose that the theoretical part is useless. In college, students usually learn theoretical classes in the first year, and in the rest of the year, practical classes are being taught in my major. Since there was no case of using theory while practical classes, I thought that the theoretical class was not useful either.

However, my internship changed my mind. In the work, theories laid the cornerstone of the proposal, sometimes became the most important evidence for persuasion, and also became an essential concept point. Through the way theory was welcomed in business, I realized that the theory can be used in a variety of ways rather than ending with 'theory'. Therefore, I’m positive for the theoretical class.

    I was very interested in reading the content from the 'digital illiteracy' covered in the Ted video. I thought that the younger generation could learn and use technology well and handle it skillfully, but I learned that they are having difficulty in developing and applying technology.
    Also, I think the theoretical knowledge learned in class is useful. I also had an internship in the media department. Of course, the media department used a lot of media-related terms. I was a bit familiar with the terms I learned in the media class, so I was able to adapt more easily. So I think the theoretical knowledge I learn in class is more often beneficial to me.

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 ...

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...

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...
