A footless horse goes a thousand miles.


This video mainly contains problems of contamination and distortion of the original, image, message, etc. due to the development of media.

The talk in this talk is that the development of media has led to the emergence of unknown photographs and videos and the fading nature of the original images and writings, which contaminate the original text and convey distorted information that is different from the facts, as shown in the picture below.


The Internet is now flooded with articles and images from unknown sources. For example, on social media such as X, people take other people's writings and create groundless stories and rumors. They are journalists. They reproduce, edit, and produce information with small phones or computers. Money, or views and likes, becomes their activity.
As a recent example, a YouTuber named 'Taedok Camp' was a YouTube video where he made malicious and distorted videos about various celebrities. However, people were deceived or sympathized with this ridiculous instigation and distorted video, giving the YouTuber active power and inflicting secondary harm on the celebrity. Eventually, he was investigated by the police, but the incident made him aware of how important fact-checking is.
However, as the lecturer said, pectchecking is a costly activity. Naturally, all of us are potential journalists, and it is impossible to fact-check them all unless there is a 'big brother'. In addition, I think it will be a difficult task because it is possible to generate images that are almost indistinguishable from the real thing with the development of AI, like the picture shown by the lecturer.
If a society with more advanced technological skills comes in the future, we may live alone, breaking away from the social existence of Homo Comuticus as a non-believer who has to doubt everything, including information, images, and media.

Introduction to our blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from the Spring 2024 class in Everyday Life at Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities. For each section of the course, you are expected to post a blog post on relevant readings on our blog here and make a comment on another student's post. An ideal commentary should be about 800 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 incorporated into our class discussions. You are allowed to quote an interesting passage from the text(s) you've read, but the quotes will not count toward any length requirements. The blog’s deadline is always: Sunday, midnight, of the week the question is posted. Remember: in

week 2 classroom questions

w.2 1. I think the team is that everyone has a different division of labor, not only the individual work results, but also the team's results.Everyone in a team has complementary skills to solve problems together to achieve common goals. It's like a family party where the mother will be responsible for shopping, the sister will be responsible for cooking, and the brother will be responsible for setting up the scene. 2. Why do Koreans prefer black clothes?First, I think black clothes are more resistant to dirt than other colors.Second, black is a classic and colorful color, do not choose the body, do not choose the skin color, suitable for various occasions.Third, black clothes can show simplicity and luxury, and can show different styles with various clothing styles, especially black coats and down jackets, which can not only blend into the winter atmosphere of Korea, but also reveal luxury and urbanity in simplicity.
