Chapter 78 Seeking the possibility of establishing a network commune

Regarding running an online commune, my idea is that since there are so many excellent people in the online world, through these people, a high collective IQ can be formed on the Internet.And through this network commune, try to solve some problems in reality, and it is more likely to use this to improve this real society. Two-way communication and one-way communication differ in both density and timing. For example, the forum I founded has about 10,000 visitors every day, and the influence of these 10,000 people cannot be underestimated.Although the figure of 10,000 is not very large, the most valuable thing is that these people come from all over the world, not just Japanese.These people have achieved the purpose of communicating with each other through the network, so they not only expanded their knowledge field, but also defined their future path.

Of course, although I have not really found a way to change the status quo in Japan from the virtual world, I feel that this possibility exists.For me, the most important thing right now is to make good use of the Internet to revise my proposal. Internet communes can cross borders. No matter if you are Chinese, Korean or European or American, as long as you understand Japanese, you can join this forum.But if I say innocuous things in the forum, I will criticize them mercilessly.In the forum, some Japanese are living abroad. It can be said that this forum brings together Japanese from all over the world, where they can exchange opinions on issues that are confusing in Japanese real society.

So it can be said that in the 21st century, if you want to seek "answers", compared to the real world, the virtual online world may be a faster and more effective choice. The world of Web 2.0 is such a world. Everyone can participate in the camp that changes the world. The key lies in whether everyone's wisdom can be gathered. I think this will have to be done in the future. Regarding the outlook for the media, I introduced it in the column "Life in the Age of Sudden Industrial Death" serialized on the Nikkei BP website "safety japan".In this column, besides me, many netizens are also publishing articles, including some anecdotes and anecdotes, and I have no objection to this.

Because such an anecdote will get a good response, even if I object to it in vain. I publish about 8,000 words a week in this column.Not just me, everyone posts tons of stuff here.If the article is published in the Nikkei newspaper, it is not allowed to add my signature to the end of the article, but if it is in an online forum, I will definitely add my signature to the end of the article. Not only that, but my manuscript will not pass the review of Nikkei leadership, Nikkei is only responsible for providing the location of the column. So far, although my article has been serialized here for more than 150 weeks, it is still too early to say that it will arouse strong social repercussions, and it is too early to correct the mistakes in it, because there are countless People read it.To put it bluntly, when the same thing is published in the Nikkei newspaper, there will be countless reprimands.But after it becomes an electronic version, it will not be, but I feel that things can become more diverse.

The Wall Street Journal, a newspaper in the United States, took decisive measures to reduce the layout (reducing the width of the newspaper from 15 inches to 12 inches), supplementing the reduced amount of information in the newspaper to the online version.In short, the newspaper is only used as a window, and all important information is transferred to the online version, and advertisements are added to the online version, so as to make up for the loss caused by the reduced circulation of the newspaper. I personally think that the future of the media will inevitably follow such a model, without adopting this approach of breaking away from the traditional model, the media will not be able to survive.Reporters in the future will also be dominated by writers with sharp eyes and a keen sense of smell.The era of journalists writing reports based on their own materials and weighing their own will gradually become a thing of the past. By then, there will be no need to salivate over government information as they do now.Because what readers want to know from the media is no longer this information, and no one needs to spend money to buy this information anymore.
