W4 : What are the pros & cons of using Naver versus Google for research purposes? / 박소민(SOMIN PARK)
1. Summary
Naver intuitively shows where I can find information by connecting it with dictionaries, blogs, and external links when searching. However, Naver is too self-centered. Let's say I want to search Impressionist artists. Naver mainly shows information generated within it, such as people's descriptions of Impressionist artists through Naver blogs or the definition of Impressionism in Naver. This is a negative factor when someone wants to know various information.
On the other hand, Google shows a vast amount of data. It shows Naver posting, related papers, and almost everything that contains the search keyword someone entered. It is good to look for a lot of information, but there are many data that need to be filtered out : unreliable data, too old-fashioned data, etc. But it would be great to use Google for research purposes if someone could filter these things out.
2. Interesting point
Naver has been troubled by real-time search terms and biased news layout. In 2018, Naver decided to leave a link to its news homepage instead of directly posting news on the main page, and in February 2021, Naver concluded that it would eliminate the real-time search term system. Looking at this situation, I thought that Naver's main homepage would become like Google someday.
3. Discussion point
In addition to Naver and Google, Youtube is now a big search platform.
Why do people use Youtube for search even though they can only get information after watching the video?
I think the problem of society, where the burden of reading is increasing, can emerge through YouTube. Reading and considering the text becomes awkward, and only fast, light, and stimulating information stands out in the swamp of information. People now think that the video is more interesting than the text.

ReplyDeleteI am always very interested in reading the answer to this question!
ReplyDeleteNow, it is time to search on YouTube. People think it is easier to get information by video than by textual information. In addition, the percentage of people using YouTube as a search engine is increasing because they want to see what they are curious about through videos and want to get detailed information through videos. However, it should be careful not to consume provocative content and false information on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteWhen people use YouTube to search, I think there are many things like how to use something. I think people are using YouTube as a search engine because it is faster to understand the demonstration with their eyes than with their writing.
