 1、Summary

Technology has had a profound impact on social life. The popularity of mobile phones has changed people's communication methods and social habits, established new usage norms, and made people dependent on mobile phones. Social networks facilitate human interaction, but they also bring privacy and time management issues. People's behavior on social networks is often influenced by group pressure, leading to inappropriate content sharing. When it comes to video games, although some studies point to possible health and behavioral problems, there are also studies showing positive effects on visual attention and health. In general, technology has brought new challenges and opportunities while promoting social progress.

The “Why Wikipedia” video explains that Wikipedia is driven by a radical idea: anyone can edit. This openness has obvious risks, but surprisingly, it works. Why? Because Wikipedians follow a core principle called “good faith.” The idea is that editors assume others are acting with good intentions. They might disagree or make mistakes, but they are seen as partners in a shared mission, not enemies. This idea of good faith collaboration is explored deeply in Reagle’s writings. In the Foreword, Lawrence Lessig praises Wikipedia as an ...
