W4) Wikis and Internet 2.0 /박채정, PARK CHAEJEONG
Summary
Web 2.0 refers to an Internet environment in which anyone can produce and consume data, rather than owning or monopolizing it. In other words, it is an Internet space centered on user engagement.
Web 2.0 consists of two-way communication that allows information to be accepted and shared, rather than the traditional Web 1.0 method of unilaterally communicating information. It is fundamental to play the role of the Internet and television and to do more than that. The best part is that you can communicate with everyone around the world anytime, anywhere. It is a community that has a tremendous impact to form another trend and change culture.
I thought these features of Web 2.0 were only made on SNS such as Instagram and Facebook. However, Wikipedia is also part of the Web 2.0. It hasn't been long since I knew and used Wikipedia, so far, the process of finding and modifying informations myself is very unfamiliar yet. But, I think it's very meaningful and I'm adjusting to participating in the webpage (WikiPedia), not just uploading pictures on SNS.
A new/interesting items learned
When I searched to find out more about Web 2.0, I already saw an article saying that the era of Web 3.0 will come. Until now, I had to distinguish unnecessary information by myself in the vast amount of data. However, in the coming future, I can find only the information I want right away without such a process. Therefore, I felt that it was necessary to actively respond to the rapidly changing online environment rather than to accept the information as it is.
Discussion point
In the future, we will definitely be able to do what we want to do comfortably and easily. But on the contrary, is there anything we should think about that we miss in a society that is changing too fast? Is there any problem that also occurs? Is it all good to make our lives convenient? I think we should be able to make more ethical and rational judgments. I wonder what you guys think.
With a variety of IT technologies and faster Internet speeds, we will be able to live a more convenient life, as you say. But we have to keep asking the question of whether we are invading the ethical part ourselves because we can overlook the ethical part of it. And no matter how much the world develops, humans live in communities, so we need to balance ourselves well so that we can create a healthy community through healthy discourse with people and then pursue convenience in it.
