W10: Topics in Sociology: Internet
Summarize
This video covers several sociological topics related
to the Internet. Digital divide, censorship, Internet addiction, copyright and
privacy things like that. Interesting Point
What I was interested in watching this video was difference between countries. For example, In countries (Japan, Korea, etc.) where there is a culture that is reluctant to reveal private parts to others, personal information leakage is considered the biggest problem. However, In other countries, exposure to harmful content is considered a big problem. The thing to consider is, this video uses data from about 5 to 10 years ago. In 2020s, how did these statistics change?Discussion Point
Many public services in South Korea are done assuming that people are using Internet services. For example, when visiting restaurants, we are naturally required to check-in via Kakao Talk or Naver to prevent COVID-19. As if everyone has a cell phone and uses the Internet.Do you think that access to internet is human right?
The answer for this question depends on the situation. If most of the work is done based on the Internet in this country/region, access to internet will be human right. Else, that isn't human right.
So, I would like to ask again.
Do you think that access to internet in
South Korea is human right?
