Extra Posting 2. How do we participate in Web 2.0? How do we create the modern-day culture?

 'Web 2.0' refers to Web technologies that generate information and interact with each other based on the spirit of openness, participation, and sharing. In class, we announced our experience of participating in Web 2.0. I try to write about my experience.

 With advances in technology, there has been equally remarkable progress in the game sector. Fine character customization, graphics, and now the game is a virtual reality, but it is similar to the real world. In these games, there are cases where Web 2.0 features are revealed. I will introduce some examples first and then I will tell you my experience.

 First, I would like to show you an example of using World of Warcraft map using Google Maps. The map provided in the game has been trying to provide convenience with many patches in the meantime, but there is the biggest disadvantage that the whole map can not be seen at a glance. Especially for beginners who are starting the game for the first time, they can quit the game without overcoming the inconvenience. However, this map, created using Google Maps, was created by several users who joined the images of each region in ultra-high quality. This map provides zooming capabilities and once had the ability to display all the locations of the NPCs.

 The second example is a card game information site that I myself participated in. I play an online card game (Hearthstone), and each expansion pack comes out every quarter. Before the expansion pack is released, new cards can be previewed. I and many gamers can make their own assessment of the card and save it. Within the site, this is referred to as a "verdict." The more verdicts are, the more likely they are to think about what cards are good and bad. After that, we can actually improve our understanding of the cards by comparing what we expected when the expansion pack was released.

 Web 2.0 is used in a variety of fields, and games are no exception. Web 2.0 in the game can utilize the virtual reality that only games can do, and can make the novel world and the disappearing buildings participate in various people's participation. I am looking forward to Web 2.0 in the future.

    Very interesting. Although I never played the games introduced in this post, I guess such User-Oriented participation will make the games more absorbing and make strong attachment between users and the games.

W3. Why do you think people use Wikipedia? Why do others write for it? - Sun bo Sim

 Why do you think people use Wikipedia? Why do others write for it? 1. Summary It is quite natural that the main purpose people use Wikipedia is to get information. So I thought about why people choose Wikipedia for getting information. I think the first reason is the reliability of information in Wikipedia. We have many other sources of getting information. We can search for information scattered on the web through search tools such as Google or Naver. But we do not have the ability to ensure that such data are reliable. However, people prefer Wikipedia because it looks at its slogan " The Free Encyclopedia, " believing it may have the character of an encyclopedia. I also believe that Wikipedia's credibility is enhanced by the fact that its information is constantly being edited through the process of collective intelligence. 2. Interesting Point Most people use Wikipedia to get information. However, some people like to make new articles and give information s...

W5. Can we trust Wikipedia? Yun-Jin Kim

Then I want to ask. Can we trust News? I think Wikipedia is based on sources. Every time we edit on Wikipedia we need the sources. If we don’t put sources, the information we wrote would be deleted.   So I think asking ‘How can we trust Wikipedia’ is kind of similar to ‘How can we trust News’. I know there could be subjective opinion on Wikipedia. If the topic is unpopular, the public opinion doesn’t focus, there’s could be no feedback and that makes Wiki subjective. for this reason, we have to think before we choose the topic in Wiki. If the topic isn’t famous enough and have no sources, we should think this information isn’t sure enough. but if the topic has clear sources we can have a trust on that information. I think it is not important to ask, ‘is the Wikipedia trustful’. It is important to ask ‘is this information on Wikipedia has a exact source?’.

W6. How important is it to be civil online on the Internet?-Ji Young An

These days lots of controversial problems are rising. And because of those problems, people fight on the Internet. But I think most of problems happen because of a lack of civic attitudes. As I highlighted the discussion section of Wikipedia last post, talking together with having civic attitudes is very important point. On the Internet lots of people meet. And this means all of them has different thinking and experiences different cultures. So it is certain that everyone's opinion is different. But I think from this difference, the collective intelligence comes. So I think this difference is very important. But sadly, because of this difference some people fight, just arguing their opinion is one hundred percent right. This attitude is nothing good to our collective intelligence. To develop collective intelligence, people need the civic attitudes. Not just persisting stubbornly they should talk and listen, trying to understand other people. If they talk their opinion or thinking...
