W4) The Puzzle of Openness /박채정, PARK CHAEJEONG


Summary/ Interesting things

 Think about the application of free and open-source software (FOSS), access to and openness to information, and the relationships between the people who use it.

 At the end of the blog I wrote earlier, I felt that I needed to reconsider the topic of the reading material. Of course, there are advantages of using Wikipedia, but on the contrary, the background of using these services cannot be overlooked. And in this reading, I can see that people are constantly working on this part. 

 What is needed in an "Open Space for the community"? I think transparency, equality, respect, and consideration are all necessary. As society changes, we must have a responsive attitude to it. That way, we will be able to move forward in line with the changes. As always mentioned in lectures and reading materials, we need to understand the features of this webpage and follow the rules while using Wikipedia. That way, we will be able to maintain a better community environment by balancing without being biased toward either way. 


Discussion angle

 However, problems can happen again. And there will also be tough situations to satisfy both sides.  This is because when a problem occurs, an ideal solution does not always work correctly. For example, when we use the Wikipedia, we emphasize 'equality in the access of information', 'respect for users. But there may be people who are left out of information on the one side that is invisible. It is people who are not familiar with this environment. So what solutions can we put forward for these people? Is there any way they can easily communicate interactive?

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...
