W10 Can we think of some examples of how internet has changed our culture?

Shinhee Kim

The Internet has brought many changes in many ways. In particular, in terms of culture, I think it has brought about tremendous changes, and the most influential change is the blurring of borders between countries. We can also view and participate in culture in any country through the Internet. On the Internet, there are few temporal and spatial restrictions. Therefore, the time difference and distance from other countries are not a problem. Platforms like YouTube are used by people all over the world, and anyone can find the video they want by simply searching. That is why videos made in Korea are not famous to Koreans, but there are also ironic situations where they become famous among foreigners.

Due to the influence of the Internet, Korea's K-POP was also able to grow very much. Many people can browse the stage of K-POP artists on the Internet, and even enjoy online concerts in any country through a real-time streaming service. In this way, the Internet spreads many cultures, and sometimes various cultures can be mixed to create new cultures.

In this way, the Internet has had various positive effects, but there will be drawbacks behind it. So, what are the disadvantages of the Internet in terms of culture?

    I read your opinion about the advantages of the Internet well. I think digital crime can be an example of the disadvantages of the Internet. As the Internet has changed and developed, people can share their opinions regardless of time and place as you said. However, some people use this advantage in a bad way. For example, they post anything even if it is not true or somebody can hurt because of the post. Also, they commit sexual crimes such as sharing some pictures of someone without someone’s approval.

    The Internet cuts off offline communication! I think we don't have to talk face to face because we can easily reach each other anytime, anywhere. I mean, you're gonna have to maintain that shallow, broad network. And I feel like I'm losing time to think about something. Rather than meeting together and talking about something, will time pass by just watching contents based on algorithms...? I think thoughts and opinions often evaporate easily. I also think they tend to look for fun and easy information.

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...
