Mitch Resnick believes that we are good at interacting with new technology, but not so good at expressing ourselves—LI YULUN

1) Summarize

Mitch Resnick is a professor at the MIT Media Lab who came up with educational digital tools such as the Scratch programming language. His point highlights the importance of digital tools and points out that we are good at interacting with them, but can have challenges when it comes to expressing ourselves creatively. In this video, he explains how these simple greeting cards are made and how they are made. He believes that it is important to learn programming, which can be applied not only in the network, but also in connection with real physics.

2) New understanding

I agree with Resnick because we live in a digital age where people are generally adept at using digital tools such as social media, apps, and electronic devices. However, for many people, expressing themselves creatively may not be easy, especially in the digital realm. While we can easily use social media to post photos, videos, and text, for creating original digital content or programs, it may take more learning and practice. On the other hand, some people may be less proficient with digital tools, which may be related to factors such as their background, education, and experience. Therefore, there are certain differences in the use and expression of digital tools. What are the principles behind these media that we need to understand and learn in order to express ourselves better

3) Interesting point

However, with the development of digital technologies, more and more resources and tools are available to help people express themselves better. For example, Scratch and other programming languages make it possible for people to create their own digital works through programming. Therefore, through education and training, we can increase people's capacity for creative expression in the digital realm and enable more people to benefit from the opportunities presented by the digital age.

1.Summary   This article discusses the characteristics of open content communities and provides a detailed description using Wikipedia as an example. The author first uses the term "community" to describe interdependent groups of people who participate in discussions, decision-making, and share some practices that define communities. Then, the author proposes five characteristics of an open content community: open content, transparency, integrity, non discrimination, and non interference. Although some of these features provide clear boundaries, such as copyright licenses for open content and forking ability, other features such as transparency, integrity, and non discriminatory social values do not provide equally clear boundaries. The author emphasizes that exploring these characteristics helps to understand the background and values in community discussions.   The article then provides a detailed introduction to the origins of the free and open source software movement and...

W10.2 May 10 (Fri)—CHENG SHIYI

1.Summary   Remix culture is a culture that allows and encourages the creation of derivative works through the editing of existing material, challenges exclusive copyright restrictions, promotes the idea of remixing, and facilitates the free flow of creativity. In Remix, Lessig describes the shift from a read-only culture to a read/write culture, where the advent of digital technology has redefined the way culture is created and distributed in ways that facilitate the interactive relationship between producers and consumers and democratize the production of ideas and the distribution of content. The history of remix culture dates back to the 19th century, e.g.: according to American media scholar Henry Jenkins, but the balance between creation and consumption shifted with the advancement of analog recording and reproduction technologies.The analog era of the early 20th century, with its specialized creative equipment and cheap consumer devices, led to the strengthening of proprieta...

W1.1 Intro class: intro to class, blog, wiki and other assignments——CHENG SHIYI

1. Summary  I have taken classes from you, the professor, before and have always been interested in Wikipedia, so I chose to take your class this semester regardless. I understand from your introduction to all the courses in the lecture that this semester's Collective Intelligence in Practice course is centered around Wikipedia, which I understand is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and that Wikipedia brings together knowledge from around the world. One of the quotes in your course syllabus is that Technocrati's chief technologist says that soon "Wiki-knowledge will be a required job skill." Wikipedia, a non-profit encyclopedic website, is ranked among the top 5 most popular websites in the world, all thanks to a little bit of contribution from volunteers in the world. I see from this that the Collective Intelligence in Practice program understands Collective Intelligence on the Internet through Wikipedia from a sociological perspective. There are many ways to s...
