Week3 - Understanding Wikipedia: Wikis and Internet 2.0 ( Yerin Lee)

Understanding Wikipedia: Wikis and Internet 2.0 ( Yerin Lee)


How do we participate in Web 2.0? How do we create the modern-day culture?


      According to class content and search, Web 2.0 is a user-participatory Internet environment that allows anyone to easily produce and share data on the Internet without the owner or monopolist of the data. Compared to Web 1.0, which only collects and shows information on the Internet, Web 2.0 is made easier for platforms that provide data so that users can handle data themselves to share and receive information. Blogs, Wikipedia, and Delicious (del.icio.us). 


      The hashtag is the best feature of the consumer engagement type on Web 2.0. Due to the influence of Instagram, hashtags that are now too familiar to us are ways for consumers to produce, participate in, and expand. Creating and sharing information directly by users means that consumers' capabilities are slightly greater. It also shows how much higher efficiency results can be produced in a short period of time by sharing and participating in the information.


      In the past, one-way communication used to be easy to instigate, but not anymore. On Modern Day, people acquire high-efficiency information through collective intelligence, while increasing their willingness to determine whether the information is true and useful. We can get people's consent when we have the same attitude as supporting each other and for the well-being of the community. Once people gain empathy and participation, they can form a culture, so they have to show the right attitude.



After reading the following readings.


        I think this reading contains ethical positions and views on Wikipedia's existence. There were many impressive phrases one by one because they seemed to contain a lot of thoughts in the more ethical parts.


        Everyone has different experiences in different countries and regions, so everyone is different and information is bound to be diverse. Wikipedia can be a forum for discussions where people from different cultures participate together to accumulate information and talk. People know they are not perfect, so they are taking the most efficient approach.


        I would like to comment on the impressive words in this reading. I said, "Small things are a source of joy for some people and a source of ridicule for others. Nevertheless, the combination of increased access to information and human consensus is a long-cherished dream." You can see as much as you know. I am so sorry that people end their lives without feeling the things they can feel as humans because of ignorance. I think it is very valuable if Wikipedia quench the thirst for learning and knowledge and informs the joy of communication.


What I want to discuss about


        As you can see from reading my post, the first question is about Web 2.0 and the second question is about expecting a balance of information from Wikipedia. However, because technology is power and wealth today, people without technology can be subject to information alienation.


        After taking the class, I searched and found that the era of Web 3.0 will come beyond the era of Web 2.0. Wikipedia to reduce the alienation of information even a little bit, and Wikipedia to be used only by technicians. How should we look at Wikipedia's two faces? How can I explain this problem wisely?

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...
