W10/Remix culture/HARI KIM

Summary)

Remix culture is a society that allows and encourages the production of new creations or products by combining or editing existing materials. This culture restricts copyright monopolization and allows to improve, alter, integrate, or remix their work. In order for this remix culture to survive, there must be a spirit of participation shared and created by others. The development of digital technology served to revive remix culture. Consumers soon took the form of producers, with non-experts generating content through blogs and the public adding knowledge from Wikipedia.
Remixing is being used positively in various areas. It is used in many areas, including graphic art, books, and other information, software, music, movies, and more. In the field of information, Wikipedia is called the "world's most thorough and up-to-date encyclopedia" with constant editing and production by many people around the world. Another example is that most new films are remixed versions of cartoons, graphic novels, and books. Remixing culture is a culture that overcomes existing shortcomings and opens up the possibility that creations far beyond their original scope and intentions can be produced.

New/Interesting things I learned)

I thought remix culture led to the creation of a variety of creations beyond existing creations. I also realized that remixing was necessary to make data accessible to people with disabilities. The data is converted into braille or visual text, allowing them to access the data. And it was interesting that remix helped in religion. Remix culture made it easier for readers to interpret the Bible. Like this, I learned that remix had many positive effects on humans.

Discussion Point)

Remix culture also has the risk of negatively affecting existing works. It can plagiarize, or it can undermine the original intent of the work. Are you negative or positive about remix culture? I'm curious about your opinion.

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...
