Week5: Discussion Reflection

 I think this course really reminds me how it was like working as a teacher back in Korea. I'd like to mention some of my experiences with the topic in this post. But before I start, I want to note that I really like Brett and Shiyao's opinion about privacy: " When a product is free, you as the user are the product.", " In the era of Web 2.0, if I'm not paying for a product (social media), then I am the product.

I never expected my interest in subculture can be academically helpful for me, but well, here I go. I think nobody from EME6414 would have heard about Daknunsam (닥눈삼). It means 'shut up and lurk for three months'. It was often used in Korean subculture online websites where people shared information about a game (usually Japanese). When a newbie comes in and leaves a post, asking a question in an inappropriate manner (actually it is a very appropriate and polite manner on most online websites.), all she would get
