Wikipedia (Group 6)

A friend told me that wiki means "what I know is..." this sounds better than the other explanation :) Although I am not a heavy user of Wikipedia, the idea of Wiki is now getting so popular that it is almost impossible not to notice it. Now I have to use wiki at work - work logs, internal notices, schedules, etc. And I also created a wiki for my group project for this class. Wiki is a wonderful tool for collaboration, only on condition that everyone pays attention, be responsible, and change their habbit a little bit. Wikipedia also depends on the sense of responsibility of its contributors. In this sense, it is very similar to the nature of the accumulation of human knowledge. But in the wiki era, the accumulation and knowledge sharing is more open and free. Personally, I do see the Wikipedia (or the whole Web 2.0) as a great achievement of man kind.
