Digital Knowledge Sharing -- The advent of the wiki

We are group HAPPYSCHOOLDISCUSS :

FREE ACCESSING

On the internet, the concept of "free for sharing" is very important that will burst the development of everything and bring positive competition.

Wikipedia provides free access to all of human knowledge, ultimately providing free knowledge to anyone on anything. No fees or hidden costs- just knowledge. Furthermore it provides a neutral point of view. Since the writers and editors of Wikipedia are everyday people just like you and me, they provide both sides of a story, while a for-profit encyclopedia company may edit or revise articles or sides of a story in order to keep shareholders happy. 

As a collaborative encyclopedia, Wikipedia allows people from a variety of backgrounds to come together to share knowledge and information with the rest of the world. It starts a dialogue about a specific topic and encourages the rest of the world to part-take in this dialogue. As a multilingual encyclopedia, Wikipedia is not an exclusive encyclopedia; one does not need to know English to understand the text. Articles in Spanish, Dutch, French, Portuguese and Chinese are just the beginning of Wikipedia’s multilingual text. 

Real-Time Content
Article writers have the ability to change and update articles that in anytime, anywhere, they don’t have to go through the book publishers. So, the Wikipedia can be served as an online newspaper. The article about Manila hostage crisis is created on 23 August, right after it happened.

Battle ! OPEN SOURCE vs PROPRIETARY !

A: Hey! have you ever heard about ______ ?
B: Oh, is it the latest thing? Let me search in Wikipeadia first....

A: Hey! What is _____? I don't have any ideas about this project!
B: Find information on Wikipeadia and you can have an idea of it.

Are these case similar to you? Those happened to me quite often. I used to search Wikipeadia ( Wiki) when I don't have any ideas on a topic, a word, or just a thing.

Wiki is an open source  for marjorities to search information they need while also open to public to edit anything inside this website. So, that mean information are up-to-date and could be changed in a second if you are going to edit any orginal article there. However the information Wiki provided may not be so accurate as "Wikipedia in fact had a third more inaccuracies than Britannica."  (from http://corporate.britannica.com/britannica_nature_response.pdf).

Therefore, it is better to KNOW the basic concept from Wiki rather than to UNDERSTAND from there.

Wiki sounds convenienct and user friendly. I agree on it too. It is a popular resource on the internet nowsaday. How about the proprietary source, like Encyclopeadia? These sources need to be paid so that we can gain the information inside. Those articles, are edited by professionals and have to be proof-read for serval times before publishing. The resources are more respresentable and accurate.

Which do I prefer to use? Both. It is because I can search anything easiler and up-to-date on Wiki, to gain my first hand information. Then to have a further study on the thing I can go for Encyclopeadia to understand deeply.

If there are both pros and cons here, why can't we combine them to make things going better?

Who owns your digital tools, and does it matter?

Charlie Chaplin--- Modern Time

In the film, we know that the new technologies have some benifits in production. The accurrancy of product production like time controling, quality, amount are the benefits of mass production by the new technologies. Also, the production cost can be limited as replacing the empolyee by machines. The production can be in processed for a longer time which may increase the income as more products can be done. All these are the adventages of new technologies.

So, Who gains from these technologies: Workers, customers or bussinessmen? My anwer is both of them. First, the workers can handle the work easier with just simple steps on it. Also some dangerous steps can be done by machines and descrease the industrial accidences happened because of the new technologies. In the customers' sides, they can buy things on a more reasonable price as mass production can help to deduce the production cost, there for products are being cheaper than before which hand made by workers. I think bussinessmen gain most from these technologies, becasue they can check the working process every time by CCTV, just refer to the clip that Charlie wanted to take a break but sooner his boss appeared on the screen told him not to be lazy and backed to work immediately. Also bussinessmen can control the production cost, accurancy and quality better than before. That mean they can earn more.

The new technologies may have benifits, but also disadvantages. Tension of workers has been increased. Using the Modern Times as an example, In the film Charlie got a short break, he cannot stop the jerky, rhythmic movements of his nut-tightening - the trauma of work has left him with a nervous tick. A "Big Brother" screen of his employer in the men's room reprimands him when he sneaks a cigarette: "Hey, quit stalling. Get back to work. Go on." [1] We can see that Charlie is suffering the nervous breakdown after do the same step of his work repeatedly. Finally he has been sent to the hospital and the doctor told him not to be too emotional again. I have a strong feeling of the ending scen which words shown: "Cured of a nervous breakdown but without a job, he leaves the hospital to start life anew.", this is how exploit among workers always happened.

Using computer and internet has became a part of my life. That's a daily thing I have to acheive. Or say, a habit. Sometime I may think that I indulged with the computer too much as I bounding around internet without any purposes. But I can say that I can know the news and new things though the internet easily and quickly although I am staying at home. Computer and internet changed my outgoing lifestyle, while also changing the message spread of the world.
