W6. How important is it to be civil online on the Internet? - Sojeong Choi



 Online is the same as the offline community in which we live. We can make discussions in online and the discussion also influences other people. And there are many people who have sound discussions, but some people don't understand others.

When I first stated computer as a child, I often heard that "manners are important on the Internet". I think it's important to understand the difference with some people in internet. This attitude is also important in producing "collective intelligence".

 Today I want to share this idea. For example, there is 'user' who read the posting and write a comment. The user can criticize about posting and appeal to own ideas within "netiquette.". Today I want to say that manners of 'creator' are also important. 'Freedom of expression' should be guaranteed, but creator have to think about how creations will affect the users.

 Recently, there is issue that Youtube is having a negative impact on children. The harmful videos are posted without filtering and it's exposed naturally to children. Children who have seen the videos have sexual harassment and impulsive behavior for friend and adults. In other words, it's  important to emphasize the importance of manners not only to the 'user' but also to the 'creator' in the internet participation.

 What is the proper line if we set a limit to posting on the internet? If this violates 'freedom of expression', how can we lumber about harmful postings?

    I absolutely agree with your care of 'freedom of expression'. There are some people who think they have a right to talk without any thought. When I met these people on the internet, especially NAVER comment sections, I hope NAVER block and pause these person's activity. Do you think you still have to be civil and kind to these people who attack you without any reason?

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...
