Blogging through Wikipedia (2018)

Summary Political globalization refers to the amount of political co-operation that exists between different countries. This ties in with the belief that “umbrella” global organizations are better placed than individual states to prevent conflict. The League of Nations established after WW1 was certainly one of the pioneers in this. Since then, global organizations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), United Nations (UN), and more regional organizations such as the EU have helped to increase the degree of political globalization. Interesting Almost all of the world is organized by a single type of unit : the nation-state. And also, state sovereignty a central part of global society and the sovereign state is the most desirable way to structure political life. Discussion Then how do the poor nations like the United States and China agree on political cooperation?

Summary Globalization refers to the integration among societies and economies across the globe. The process of globalization ensures the integration individual national economies with the global economy. International economic relations play an important role in the growth of economies across the world. For economic relations between nations to be successful, a number of conditions need to be fulfilled. Unrestricted movement of goods and services, flow of capital, mobility of workforce, and reduction of regulatory obstacles need to be ensured for successful economic relations.  Globalization has played an important role in fostering economic relations among nations across the world. In the era of globalization, countries have realized that economic co-operation with other nations is strategically important for the growth of the economy. Interesting  Globalization ensures easier movement of goods and services across nations. This is an absolute necessity for fostering ...

Using the Wikipedia, there had some points of improvement. The first is that the reliance of users' behavior is unduly high. To be advanced constantly, Wikipedia need the effort of individual participants. It means that they have to attract all the time new contributors who afford to share their effort to Wikipedia. There has only a few way to achieve that, which means no marketing tools at Wikipedia, it has limits to expandability. I think it is one of the Wikipedia's current issues. The second is on funding. Most of Wikipedia' operating costs rely on contribution of users. Absence of clear source of funds might be an element of risk in future. If this stated issues are get solved, Wikipedia will still existing in future.

I think Wikipedia will still exist in the future. But I think Wikipedia needs to be competitive in a capitalist society. There are some things that can make Wikipedia more attractive, including a clean interface and specialized administrators. Wouldn't it be better to introduce competitive methods such as advertising and investment? The fourth industrial revolution has arrived. Wikipedia's information in the big data arena is very competitive. This is because it is a credible information that is recognized by many people. Of course not all writings are like that. In this regard, many professional managers will need to keep an eye on the text and ask it to be revised or removed if it is unreliable.

Since 2001, people can search information on Wikipedia. The online encyclopedia evolved a lot during these 17 previous years. So the question of its future is interesting. Wikipedia is one of the most visited website in the world and has a big community. The encyclopedia can survive thanks to the support and the fidelity of this community. One of the key to continue to exist is to follow and adapt to new trends and new technologies. But it costs money and Wikipedia is dependant of donations from the users. Wikipedia can choose to keep this system and to count on the support of its community or change its business model to have other sources of wage. Infact, the question of having enough money to survive is paramount to determine if Wikipedia will exist in 20, 50 or 100 years. The existence of Wikipedia in the future depends also on the competition with other websites. Some websites will probably offer new form of collective intelligence. If they are more popular or easier to use, W...

Prior to the creation of Wikipedia, people had not gathered the information easily they needed. However, Wikipedia has given the character of collective intelligence to the Internet space, so that many people can collaborate and share opinions and develop information continuously. Wikipedia expanded its forces as soon as it launched its services in 2001, becoming a vast dictionary of more than 260 languages. The strength of Wikipedia is that it can update information in real time. As the number of participants increased, the amount of information became rich. The success of Wikipedia has also accelerated the emergence of various media. But there is also controversy. As the spread of false information increases, the credibility of information is questioned, and the level and accuracy of information raises many questions. There are also other threats. It is the emergence of smartphone. A recent Pew Research Center report found that 39 of the top 50 news sites received m...

As I have argued since the beginning of the semester, Wikipedia seems hard to maintain its reputation at least in Korea. In fact, Wikipedia was a success abroad, and it was hard to escape the hardships of Korea. It is true that this collective intelligence system is still new to our country, and the existence of alternatives such as the tree wikis may be one of the factors that has prevented our nation from succeeding. So in conclusion, the future in Korea looks uncertain. But outside of Korea, Wikipedia users are also growing, and a lot of progress is being made as many articles and materials are piling up. So clearly, Wikipedia will exist in the future, and it will improve. However, I am very concerned about Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a nonprofit organization and is run on sponsorship. So, it seems like there will be a difficult part in the end, a financial crisis, or a hard way to encourage participants. I personally wish Wikipedia would grow as a company. In the end, I thi...

The era in which we live is a society in which everything must change and be accepted quickly. So, hundreds of years later, I can not easily answer the question about whether Wikipedia exists. However, there are a lot of universal encyclopedias, but it is the most important advantage of Wikipedia that editors who is normal can participate and share. So Wikipedia is the center of collective intelligence. Wikipedia is essentially made possible by devices such as the Internet and computers. Then, several decades and hundreds of years later, other devices will emerge. Also, new information will continue to arise in the future, and Wikipedia contributors will continue to modify and still discuss. If so, only the 'stage' where information can be exchanged and opinions can be changed. We need to understand the problems of Wikipedia that are still being raised and think about how to apply them in a new society to be developed in the future. Although it is a personalized society, I t...

Like everything does, if there’s a Start, there’s an End Wikipedia, in 20 years, might be existing no more, because these days, world changes in fast. Devices are changing in a year and fast. Media are based on devices so that changing device means media consumption could be changed. Wikipedia will face to the End But not right now. It’ll be existing several years but still has a flaw. It must improve its mobile web. Writing in Wikipedia has trouble with moblie device. But these days everyone has mobile. Especially in South Korea. If Wikipedia doesn’t improve their mobile web, it would go to the end soon.  To survive for 20, 50 years, it needs to be simple and short. But wikipedia has their own regulation that everything has their own references. So this regulation makes wikipedia trustful but also long and boring.  It seems that surviving for 20 years might be hard. But wikipedia is a very meaningful web site in online history.

With the development of the Internet and media, the online world has become the most free and complicit medium. People can express their opinions with simple text, and their participation is unlimited. So is Wikipedia. Anyone can participate in making this free encyclopedia. Not by force, but by choice. The future of Wikipedia is positive. It won't disappear. However, the problem that exists in Wikipedia should be supplemented. The first is neutrality. John Milton, an English scholar, talked about the free market concept of thought. In the free market of thought, if truth and falsehood compete, truth will prevail in the end. So is Wikipedia. In Wikipedia, people filter out false information and erase biased words. The results of this process can not be seen in a short time. It takes a very long time. However, in the end, we will find the truth in Wikipedia, the free market. I also believe that this is the realization of democracy in the online world. Secondly, the technical as...

In this course we learn a lot about Wikipedia and with all the knowledge I get I can say that Wikipedia is a really great initiative which needs a lot of work and where many persons are involved to make it works. And more and more people are willing to make it a better online free encyclopedia. Moreover Wikipedia is the typical representation of the free culture which is a growing concept in nowadays society. So as far as I am concern I think Wikipedia will still existing for the few next years but in some conditions. Even if Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia and even if people who are involved into revise the different articles to make sure that they are relevant with different kind of sources, I think Wikipedia should let other people who are less involved in it and who don’t know all this operation behind the articles to be relevant and reliable on that there is this kind of process. People usually don’t know that most of the articles on Wikipedia are reviewed to make sure that...

 I felt using Wikipedia for years in class. Wikipedia is a service that specializes in English. I think this is a natural result. It is because Wikipedia is a service that started in the United States, and English is so universal that it has the formula of world official language. Therefore, there was very little information about other languages except English, and the number of users was significantly lower. The example includes South Korea. Because accurate and informative quality articles are concentrated in the English language, many people who fail to overcome language barriers have been unable to properly utilize Wikipedia.  But I expect the future to be different. Because translation technology is growing very much every day. Thanks to the translation technology, mankind hopes to live in a world where language barriers are low. I also agree. Thus, in the future, we will have a lower entry barrier to the language we have been through using Wikipedia. In other words,...

Information Sociology  2014048595  JaeIg Lee (이재익) Summary This week, I thought about the future of Wikipedia. Wikipedia survived amid the disappearance of big portal sites ' Yahoo! ' and 'Paran'.  What is the power of Wikipedia? I don't think it's just because of global recognition and influence. In fact, running Wikipedia would not require such high technology. It simply provides and manages servers that can create, manage and share knowledge. Such simple technology alone is more interesting than other websites and applications that apply highly sophisticated technology. It is also very steadily. I think it is because the purpose and purpose of being free and open has reached many people around the world. And the impact of Wikipedia will be even greater in the world as Internet connectivity will expand. In the future, Wikipedia will exist as long as the Internet environment is maintained and users are available. Interesting Point Perhaps it...

Nearly 20 years have passed since Wikipedia appeared. When Wikipedia first appeared, it seemed no different than other common Internet search sites. However, Wikipedia has become an encyclopedia with credibility and reputation comparable to the current encyclopedia. Wikipedia also taught other lessons, as well as simply the accuracy of the dictionary. It teaches the value of participation, openness and sharing. Through this class, I learned that the concept of shared tragedy does not always apply. Wikipedia has transported knowledge around the world and taught them about participation and responsibility. In Wikipedia, maximizing individual interests has not resulted in all economic players losing their shared resources due to overspending. Instead, Wikipedia has taught us that more sharing makes us richer and everyone can benefit. Wikipedia has shown the collaboration and coexistence of individuals with collective intelligence. The future of Wikipedia can be predicted by what W...

 1. Summary  Wikipedia is being updated 24 hours a day through collective intelligence. So the contents of Wikipedia are more empathy and reality than other encyclopedias. But when I think of it, this is a problem of Wikipedia. Wikipedia has only content updates. Since the smartphone revolution, its power has been tremendously strong, so many Internet sites are providing interfaces for smartphones. But Wikipedia is not. It is an inconvenient interface to use in smartphones. In order to use Wikipedia easily, it is better to access via laptop or desktop.  Wikipedia's methods and information do not let them easily disappear. The information is still used by many people. However, the development of the Internet will increase access to information more and more to public. I do not know when people around the world will have easy access to the Internet, but I think use of Wikipedia will gradually decline if a new revolution does not happen in Wikipedia.  Wikipe...

1. Summary  I took a lecture on 'Collective Intelligence' this semester. As learned in class, Collective intelligence is the collective ability that many people have gained through co-operation or competition. In addition to 'collective intelligence' lectures, many lectures require 'team play'. This team play allows us to exercise collective intelligence. In 'collective intelligence', Wikipedia was taken as an example of collective intelligence.   Wikipedia is an encyclopedia available in real time around the world If people have an environment where people can use the internet. This Wikipedia is complete with addition and modification of people. We have created ID, created new articles and modified them to participate in this collective intelligence. In this process, we adapted to the Wikipedia interface. I learned techniques such as adding hyperlinks, adding site links, and using copyrighted photos only. The ability to write was also upgraded na...

Wikipedia was created in 2001. The future of Wikipedia is a very interesting question. Indeed, in this world where everything changes so fast, how Wikipedia will evolve? The question of week 15 is similar to the question of the week 13, but I think in a different perspective. As Wikipedia is a community, its evolution really depends on the users and contributors. Wikipedia is the biggest encyclopedia in the world so I think it will exist in 20 years, but I am not sure in 100 years, because it is far and difficult to say. Many things will be different in one century. It is also necessary to notice that Wikipedia can disappear in some languages if the global contribution is not enough and exist in other ones. The website of Wikipedia itself will be different. Today, the presentation is not always easy to find some contents, so I think it will be easier and the presentation will be clearer. Nowadays and in general in the 21 st century, the changes happen very fast. And Wi...

Wikipedia is a representative example of collective intelligence, and it provides a vast amount of knowledge to many people free of charge. But now the future of Wikipedia is uncertain. The reason is the emergence of smartphones. Since the introduction of smartphones, most people look for news and information on their smartphones. In fact, mobile news usage is growing rapidly, and mobile news usage rates in the 20s and 30s exceed 90%. But Wikipedia is a site optimized for non-mobile computers. Everything you need to find references or write articles is optimized for your computer. So, the inflow of users to Wikipedia and the distribution of information is getting smaller. To solve this problem facing Wikipedia, it is necessary to create a mobile-optimized editing environment. Until now, many users still use Wikipedia, but the number will continue to decrease as time goes by. Wikipedia should strive to escape this threat. It will determine their survival. http://www.yonhapnews.co.k...

 Today, technology continues to evolve, and the world changes day by day. The world of the Internet is the same. Many sites will grow, disappear and change depending on the number of users. Will Wikipedia be affected by this? What will happen to the future of Wikipedia? I think Wikipedia will exist for 20, 50, and 100 years without disappearing.    As I mentioned in the previous article, Wikipedia is one of the large-scale sites used by various people around the world. People get the information they need through Wikipedia and share it with others. And everybody who uses Wikipedia gets the right to edit after only a few steps. As a result, Wikipedia users can edit and edit information in Wikipedia anywhere, anytime, and create new articles without content. Unlike traditional encyclopedias, this is a very unique and innovative strategy.    Through this feature, Wikipedia has been developed to the present through the efforts and contributions of m...

The rapidly changing mobile industry and the cost of mobile data can 't be held back to Wikipedia. And the fact that older volunteers are not encouraging new participants is a phenomenon that could threaten the future growth of the site.bIt is leading to a problem. Wikipedia is working hard to solve this. Quora, who is considered to have been applied to Wikipedia's Q & A service, has been running since its inception in January 2010. It has been recognized for $ 80 million in corporate value and maintained an investment of $ 11 million in just two months. Quora, which utilizes multimedia and agent functions, is also receiving attention as a future service. In response to the search term entered, the people who have received two to three minutes of voice information and photos or videos in the form of a documentary. It is a service that delivers. The average Wikipedia page has many links, and there are a lot of news websites, research journals, other Wikipedia pages, and much...
