W6. How important is it to be civil online on the Internet? - Jung Seung KIM



Summary.

As the internet has become more and more developed these day, Communication has developed not only in society but also on the Internet.
Such as the Democratic society, Users must be act as the subjects on the Internet.
Even in Wikipedia, All the documents which written to there are edited by the users there.  If not their activites on the Internet, It is not a society but a dead society. 
So, There must be activites over there.


Interesting Point.

Interestingly, Who is the first activity on a wiki site like Wikipedia. There is a user who makes it. (The site like Wikipedia. In Korea, NAMU wiki , DC wiki. ) but who has discovered that site,  and Who is working there. Did the creator promote the site? OR did users discover that site by chance? I think this is very interesting point.


Discussion.

People always communicate on the internet. But as always, There is certainly a bad user over there As in reality. A typical example is that Wikipedia keeps their sites in a way that blocks users who delete the document maliciously. This is most effective way because they only want to ruin Wikipedia. But, In other communication sites, this does not work. For example, Even though you block the Bad user on Twitter, The bad user creates a new account and writes an evil mention to you again. What can we do to solve this.

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...
