Extra Technology  -LYU YANGCHENG 2021008895


This experiment of not using mobile phones, the Internet, computers, lighting, water filtration systems, underground pipes and artificial intelligence for a day gave me a deep understanding of life, technology and myself.


1. Summary: Those interesting discoveries

Technology is actually everywhere

This experience made me realize that technology is not just conspicuous tools such as mobile phones and computers. Drinking water filtration systems, underground pipes, lights at night, and even the artial inweal sperional semle thatmendareh artarely artmial inweal sheelial inweemle thatmendareh artmial inweemage sthicare sem, reicare % reem. all important parts of technology. They exist like air, but they determine the quality of our lives.


The pace of life is "accelerated" 由 technology

Without the assistance of the Internet and AI, many things require more time and energy to complete. The acquisition of information is no longer a "search", but depends on paper books or memory. This made me understand the lifeing"


Thinking becomes more proactive

Without AI to help recommend and assist decision-making, I need to think about every problem independently. This is both a burden and an experience of "returning to thinking", which makes me feel the sense of aeveelment infeveelment infeveel the ssol prochieveel the ssolion.


2. Problems exposed without modern technology

Communication is severely limited

Without mobile phones and the Internet, it becomes extremely difficult to contact relatives and friends. Loneliness followed, and it also made me reflect on the dependence of modern social interaction.

Convenience of life is greatly reduced

Without electric lights, we can only use candles, and reading and work efficiency are reduced; without a filtered water system, drinking water safety becomes a problem; AI cannot be used to make ake ake ake ake mich 率

Health and safety risks are emerging

Filtered water and underground pipelines are key infrastructure for public health. Without them, the safety of drinking water is difficult to guarantee, and there is a potential risk of disease.

Information island effect

Without the Internet and AI, information acquisition is extremely limited, and it is impossible to quickly understand the dynamics of the outside world, knowledge is updated slowly, and the thinking vision is narrow.

3. Thinking and suggestions

Cherish the convenience brought by technology, and cultivate self-ability at the same time

Technology has greatly enriched our lives, but we should not rely on it completely. We should learn to think actively, maintain independent judgment, and avoid being kidnapped by technology.

Pay attention to infrastructure and invisible technology

Although infrastructure such as filtered water systems, underground pipelines, and public health are not conspicuous, they guarantee our safety and health, and deserve more attention and maintenance.

Reasonable use of artificial intelligence

AI is a powerful tool, but we need to consciously maintain the "initiative of thinking" and use it to assist rather than replace our thinking and creativity.

Try "digital detoxification"

Occasionally disconnecting from the Internet and smart devices to give yourself space for blank space and reflection can help adjust your mental state and improve your quality of life.

Introduction to the blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Collective Intelligence in Practice: Understanding Wikipedia at the Hanyang University in Korea (2025) will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on our blog and make a comment on another student's post. You can do so on one of the following three topics: a) You can blog about the readings for the next week. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. An ideal commentary should be about half a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incor...

Week 1. My Recent Wikipedia Edits - Jeong seolah (정설아)

I made several edits to the Wikipedia page for 'Daegu'.  Daegu, located in the southeastern part of South Korea, is the third-largest urban area in the country, following Seoul and Busan. With a population exceeding 2.3 million, it is the fourth-largest metropolitan city in South Korea and the second-largest in the Yeongnam region after Busan. Often referred to together with the surrounding North Gyeongsang Province as Daegu-Gyeongbuk, this region is home to over 5 million residents. Known for its rich history and vibrant economy, Daegu stands as a key player in South Korea's cultural and industrial landscape. Below is a summary of the changes I contributed. 1) Summarize and link Sights Section:  - Improved clarity by changing “mountains keep many traditional temples” to “the mountains keep many traditional temples.” Mosque Controversy Section:  - Simplified a sentence by removing “and of the authorities.” Festivals Section:  - Made phrasing smoother by changing “tho...

Week4 - Review about the readings for the next week. - Jo HyeonSeong (조현성)

 1. Summarize in my own words of materials. The book is primarily about the openness of Wikipedia. Openness means that anyone can participate in the creation and editing of articles without any qualifications. Openness can be a double-edged sword. While it means that you can edit without having expert knowledge of a topic, it also means that you can participate even if you have expert knowledge. For experts, articles written by non-experts can come across as inaccurate knowledge, which can anger experts. This anger can also be a catalyst for Wikipedia to continue to improve. However, articles edited only by non-experts can cause misunderstandings and convey incorrect information, so openness can be considered a double-edged sword. In fact, it sometimes causes some conflict, such as Wales' negative stance. Openness also means freedom from copyright, which means anyone can take it and use it anywhere. That is why the knowledge of non-experts can have greater impact. That is why appro...
