Blog Topic 13 : Can Wikipedia disappear?
I don't think Wikipedia will ever disappear in the future. I will exist as an encyclopedia. The matter is whether another encyclopedia will appear or not, and how people use Wikipedia continuously. There is an example. Cyworld was a big issue and commomly used among Koreans until people began to use Facebook. Now we don't know if Cyworld does exsit or not, although it still does. People give that less attention to Cyworld. I think we need to understand Wikipedia in the same context since it't an encyclopedia which is run by people editing. So, I would say Wikipedia will maintain its exsitence, but I don't know how our future and technology will Wiki-riendly for us.

Web 2.0's main themes are participate, sharing. If wikipedia still follow that spirit, it will remain forever.
ReplyDeleteI read this issue about Cyworld. I agree about your opinion. If people give that less attention to Wikipedia, it can disappear. But I think many people use Wikipedia and contribute to this encyclopedia so Wikipedia will not disappear.
ReplyDeleteI also read article about Cyworld. It is a really unfortunate. Even 3 years ago when I was getting in University the school used as a community to gather the students, talked and did other things. what I learned from the issue is catching the people's attention is very needed to maintain the web.
