W6. How important are contributions of a single individual in the sea of 'collective intelligence'?

 If asked how important an individual's contribution is in the sea of ‘collective intelligence’, I would say that assuming the highest level of importance is 100, it is as important as 100. It means that contributions of a single individual in the sea of collective intelligence is very important. Just because a hundred people have completed one piece of information, it doesn't mean they've tried a hundredth of that information.

 

One person may fill 70 percent, and the other may fill 30 percent.  Nevertheless, We should not contribute only 30 percent in the hope that others will fill 70 percent. We should do our best to contribute. The more individuals do their best, the more complete the information becomes. We can correct the wrong part of the other person, and the other person can correct the wrong parts of our. By interacting with so many people, Wikipedia is complete.

W8.2 Why Wikipedia is the most efficient of all attempts to collect and organize? / 진신

  Because every entry of Wikipedia needs to be verified by a reliable source. Coupled with the constant dedication of tens of thousands of powerful volunteers, Wikipedia is the most efficient of all collection and sorting attempts.

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...

W15 : What did I learn while editing Wikipedia? How is this assignment different from more traditional student assignments? / Park Chan Young (박찬영)

1. What did I learn while editing Wikipedia?  The most important thing I learned from editing Wikipedia is the joy of participating in collective intelligence. Before the class, I only used Wikipedia. But I was given the opportunity to edit Wikipedia through class. It is difficult than I expected to edit a steady every week. But I was pleasantly able to edit the idea that my hard work contributed to making a better encyclopedia. The joy felt when I found a topic that lacked explanation became the driving force for editing. I thought it was a small group of people and I thought it was their job to create a collective intelligence. However, as I edited, I realized that spontaneity and enjoyment were very important factors in creating Wikipedia. 2. How is this assignment different from more traditional student assignments?  The assignment in the other class was usually to write a report. It was a task to write an individual's arguments or t...
