W13. Can Wikipedia disappear? Geonju Lee

In conclusion, Wikipedia does not disappear. Communication has changed as media and technology have developed. Only a hundred years ago, media users were passive enough to unilaterally accept information through the media. However, as online and Internet networks improve, two-way communication is possible. In addition, a new type of Internet user has emerged, combining information producers and users. The latest version of media development, Wikipedia, is an online encyclopedia created through cooperation. When asked if Wikipedia will be gone in the future, one can say " no " for sure.

However, the appearance of Wikipedia can vary. For the convenience of people using Wikipedia, it can be changed from a design perspective. A key element in recent designs, ux or ., can be introduced to create a more familiar image and expand the users of Wikipedia. In addition, currently difficult technical skills are needed in the process of modifying information. This will make the process of modification more convenient and, in turn, the user will also be relieved of the burden.

The appearance of Wikipedia will change, but the goals that Wikipedia seeks will not change. Wikipedia is a collective intelligence created by voluntary participation in free culture. This is an extreme development of communication, and Wikipedia contains the ideals that we should be pursuing in the online age for humans. The continued development of technology will lead to greater participation in Wikipedia, rather the social sphere.

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...
