W14. What did I learn in this course?
Information sociology
2015048986 천병헌


1. Summary

  I took classes in "collective intelligence" and "everyday life sociology". In this process, I had many difficulties. It was very difficult to find information when using Wikipedia. I did not know how to approach. But I learned sandbox while listening to class. Also, it became understandable by learning connection links and sending messages. Various techniques have helped me edit my Wikipedia. When I edit Wikipedia's information every week, I try to understand Korean culture and culture of other countries. And I tried to find fact-oriented articles and papers. During this process, I was exchanging discussions with many people. I gave feedback on my article and I revised it again.

So, I am now able to improve the article writing ability of Wikipedia. Sometimes my friends refer to Wikipedia. Each time my friends see my article and ask. "Did you really make it?". When my friends refer to my information, they give me various feedbacks. And I discuss the content with them.

 This collective intelligence and collaboration in Wikipedia has helped in other sns space or creative activity space. I tried to think again about the authenticity of the information and the attitude toward others.

2. Interesting point

  In fact, we sat and discussed with a variety of people in class. If the contents were difficult, I divided the parts and surveyed them. And while discussing, I organized and presented the information. Collective intelligence was expressed in this process. We did things that individuals could not do alone. Also, we resolved perfectly soon. Likewise, I emphasized collaboration in other team projects. (It's not just a division of labor.) 

 As such, modern people collaborate wherever they go. It does not matter whether it is online or offline. Then, it creates the power beyond individual ability. Resolve what the individual did not imagine. Furthermore, I think it is important not only to collaborate but also to respect each other today. Because creating consensus and collaborating creates the best synergy. For example, a respectful attitude is especially important when you look at companies that only focus on division of labor and collaboration today. If you do that, you will create a bigger corporate culture and ethics and a better workplace culture.

3. Discussion point

  I think group action and collaboration beyond individual ability is important. It is also important to have an attitude of respect for each other as well as those. What do you think?

    I agree with your article. This time, I could see and learn the power of collective intelligence through Wikipedia and realize that group action is more important than the individual. Thanks to the joy of free culture and collaboration, I could learn a lot from the editors gathered in Wikipedia. However, a I think very limited number of Korean Wikipedia, which is more limited than English Wikipedia, needs to be developed.

    I read your article well. As you say, it is important to respect the opinions of others in a 21st century society of collective intelligence. I think respect is the most important thing for many people to bring their efforts together. However, it is not as well respected as malicious comments, the biggest problem in the information society. I don't know if this is human nature, but I think it must be eliminated.

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...
