W6) How important are contributions of a single individual in the sea of “collective intelligence”? /박채정, PARK CHAEJEONG


How important are contributions of a single individual in the sea of “collective intelligence”?


 The power of a group may be stronger than that of an expert. Let me give you an example you've heard at least once. When there are three options for the question, let's say the answer is "A" too naturally. But when everyone around you answers 'C' instead of 'A', what would you say is the answer? About 75 percent of people agree with the answer 'C'. Even if a group's opinion is not right, and even if you know what's right, members of the group can never ignore it. In other words, even with this piecemeal experiment, you can see how powerful the group is.


 The more people gather, the more collective intelligence they have. However, just bringing people together doesn't always produce good results. Just like the case above. In order to make good use of the power of a group, it is important to make the results with everyone's power, not one. 


 One magazine said that a "compensation system" and "leadership" device are needed for collective intelligence to be achieved naturally. However, it was said that the 'compensation system' should be viewed as a means to induce cooperation, not competition. He also explained that leadership should be necessary to encourage people to participate, or to give people emotional support.


 This magazine explained the following opinion using Korean entertainment programs as an example, but I quickly understood it. Even in the program I enjoyed, it was possible to interpret it as a form of collective intelligence, and when I think about it, collective intelligence seems to be a large part of the area of our lives. So I can say it again. How important is it to contribute to collective intelligence? It's very, very important!


 What do you think about my opinion?

    I also think that the influence of individuals on groups is important, but the influence of groups on individuals is also great. This is because it is difficult for individuals to present opinions that contradict the opinions of many people, as in the "Silent Spiral" theory.
    The more people, the greater the power of collective intelligence, but I think we should try to make good use of the power of collective intelligence because it is not always directed in the right direction.

    I read your writing well. I agree with your confident answer 'it's very very important'. There's a saying that many drops make a shower. It means that small things will become big things later when they are collected. Although Wikipedia's individual contribution may seem small, no one knows what it will be like when it builds up.

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...
