W7. Why Free Culture matters? - Seron Kim

In the 21st century society in which we live, information is one of the most important parts of our lives. Information has very high value. We interact with others and share information and broaden our knowledge. And in the society we live in, the importance of free culture is getting bigger and bigger. Free Culture is freedom to distribute and modify creative works using free content on the Internet and other media. Free Culture means free communication in opposition to excessive copyright laws.
 
A typical example of Free Culture is Wikipedia. Wikipedia can add and edit any information anywhere, anytime, anywhere in the world. People have easy access to it, and anyone can modify and supplement information as needed. Anyone can freely use this information. This is the advantage of free Culture.
 
But it can be a problem for people to distribute and use information indiscriminately. Examples include using information on Wikipedia and pretending to do it himself/herself without revealing the source. It is clearly a matter of indiscriminate distribution of information and works on the Internet. We need to think about how to solve these problems.

    You are right. They are shared for everyone to use, but they should improve the perception people have when using them.

    I think there is a point in your words. But what if you have the absolute truth and the true proposition you know only? It's not as famous yet as a source, but if you have found absolute knowledge, is it not worth the information?

W5. Can we trust Wikipedia? - Seron Kim

Wikipedia is a large site used by people all over the world. People get information through Wikipedia and edit article directly when needed. Through the action of collective intelligence, Wikipedia is becoming more and more developed and growing. Can we trust Wikipedia? I think "We can trust Wikipedia but we should not trust it unconditionally.“   Obviously Wikipedia is reliable. Wikipedia itself has an implicit framework for editing, and people follow it and use it. It is also possible to increase the trust of the article by leaving a source for the information, and to delete the edited information through a predetermined process. So there will be more and more reliable information in Wikipedia.   But you should not trust Wikipedia unconditionally. Because there may be misinformation in Wikipedia. Of course, there is a high possibility that it will be fixed through the deletion function of Wikipedia and the collective intelligence of people. But it will be a ...

W1. What do I know about Wikipedia and what do I want to learn about it? - Yong il, Seon.

We learned another idea, we want an easy explanation.          Many people used Wikipedia. Why people visited Wikipedia? I have much thought about the answer to this question. Everyone will be editor in Wikipedia. So, several people’s opinions can be confirmed on one issue. It is also an important characteristic of democracy. Democracy is the recognition of the other’s ideas. And already in France, there were ‘Tolerance’. It means that As I am right in my opinion, and so you are right in your opinion. I think Wikipedia is making ‘Tolerance idea’ work very well. So, you can not force your own ideas on Wikipedia. Depending on the situation, users may be students, teachers, or even completely different third parties. From these points of view, Wikipedia is the modern version of Greece’s Agora.            And it is not over. Always people want an easy expanation, the more complex the case. Wikipedia has a structured form...

W2. My first edits. Describe why you made them. - Seron Kim

I rarely had access to Wikipedia before this class. Because there is a service called 'Knowledge in' operated by Naver in Korea. I've been used to the 'Knowledge in' for a long time, so I've always used it if there's something I don't know. However, I got to know Wikipedia in this class. Wikipedia has a much larger volume of data than I thought, and it is being used by people all over the world. Also, anyone could edit information. I want to search and edit my favorite soccer information. So I decided to do the editing on my idols, Ko Jong-soo and Nadson.   What was interesting about editing was that although the Korean Wikipedia was detailed by the players who played in the Korean league, the English Wikipedia had little or no information. So I want to edit more. Because I want to add their information to English Wikipedia to let people around the world know.   Different countries have Wikipedia sites and the amount and quality of informati...
