W3 Why Wikipedia less popular in South Korea.../ Han seung gu

 

Q. Why Wikipedia less popular in South Korea than in most other developed countries?

I think, Naver has a big influence in South Korea

Naver is a representative information search site in Korea. Since I was young, I have used Naver only, and I have been writing various communities, cafes, and blogs on Naver, so I will not look for other sites other than Naver. Naver's scalability is currently No. 1 in South Korea. Businesses such as shopping, webtoons, radio, and messenger are expanding infinitely. Of course, Naver also has weaknesses. That is the reliability of the information. Naver tends to have low reliability of information because it is so large. Blog posts are also difficult to believe because they are being advertised, and contents of "Naver Knowledge-In" cannot be verified for their reliability. Wikipedia has a strong competitive edge in that respect. This is because many people continue to verify reliability by writing and correcting information. Currently, many discussions are underway on the reliability of information on Naver. Currently, Naver's main screen has changed to only display the search box like Google and organize its own contents.

I think this is an important crossroads. If Naver can even build the credibility of information now, more people will use Naver as it has been. Otherwise, I think there will be a lot of people flocking to highly reliable sites like Wikipedia.

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...
