Communal online encyclopedias represent one of the latest resources to be found on the Internet. They are in many respects like traditional printed encyclopedias collections of articles on various subjects. What is specific to these online encyclopedias, however, is that any Internet user can contribute a new article or make an editorial change in an existing one. As a result, the encyclopedia is authored by the whole community of Internet users.
The reading and the lecture are both about whether online encyclopedias are just as important as traditional printed encyclopedias.
The author of the reading believes there are three explanations why online ones hold many flaws.
The lecturer challenges the statements made by the author.
she is of the opinion that online encyclopedias promises variety of advantages if not perfect.
First of all, the author suggest that online encyclopedias have less academic credentials. so they tend to be inaccurate and have errors. it is mentioned that, on the other hand, traditional encyclopedias are written by experts.
The argument is refuted by the lecturer. she says both types of encyclopedias have error and flaws, but online one can be corrected easily. Furthermore, she argues that traditional one, however, could remain containing flawed information for decades.
Secondly, the article posits that vandals and hackers change the information of online encyclopedias. The article notes that users can not tell the changed information. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by asserting that most online encyclopedias have solutions for such actions. she elaborates on this by mentioning that online encyclopedias have read only format as well as special editors who monitor the encyclopedia. Thus the information is safe and reliable.
Finally, it is stated in the article that online encyclopedias are too broad and contain many unnecessary information. As a result, this kind of attributions give rise to ambiguity of which information is valueable and which is not. The article establishes that even a very important historical event recieve as equal attention as a mere long tv series. The lecturer, on the other hand, opposes that by saying that traditional encyclopedias have limited space, so authors decided which information to put, but the authors judgement can not reflect users' opinions and need. she puts forth the idea that online ones having many topics is the one of the strongest disadvantages.
