W2: Wikipedia is..

 Why Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a collection of intelligence created by discussions and debates among people about many topics. Such themes come together to create a huge site called Wikipedia.

First of all, the advantage of Wikipedia is that it is used by many people. As the number of users is high, a lot of information is in there.

Also, the reason why Wiki is the best site is not just that it can get a lot of information. The feature of this site is that users can make it together. Instead of stopping from acquiring organized information, you can get a new perspective that you have never thought about by sharing your thoughts to others, seeing other people's thoughts, and arguing about them.

Some people can raise questions: "Many users use it, and it can be modified and added directly, so it can provide wrong information to many people". Yes. It's a matter that can be raised enough. However, the above-mentioned advantages of Wikipedia can offset this shortcoming. If some users upload the malicious information about topics, because many users is using this site, which can be modified as soon as possible, or be added to the existing information if they think it is a good respect about topics. So, it is possible that you think in various perspectives about that topics.

With so many advantages, Wikipedia is the best site we can use.

    Jisoo, I want to tell you first that I read your post well. Looking at your post, I think this class summary went very well! I could organize it one more time while reading your writing!

    That's right. Wikipedia is a very capable platform that we can use effectively right now. As you mentioned, there seems to be a lot of controversy over Wikipedia's information reliability. When I looked it up, there were a lot of articles and posts about it! Since various people are censoring information on strict standards, wouldn't technology make it a reliable platform that doesn't require encyclopedias?

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...
