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 idea might sound attractive, but the communal online encyclopedias have several important problems that make them much less valuable than traditional, printed encyclopedias.
First, contributors to a communal online encyclopedia often lack academic credentials, thereby making their contributions partially informed at best and downright inaccurate in many cases. Traditional encyclopedias are written by trained experts who adhere to standards of academic rigor that nonspecialists cannot really achieve.
Second, even if the original entry in the online encyclopedia is correct, the communal nature of these online encyclopedias gives unscrupulous users and vandals or hackers the opportunity to fabricate, delete, and corrupt information in the encyclopedia. Once changes have been made to the original text, an unsuspecting user cannot tell the entry has been tampered with. None of this is possible with a traditional encyclopedia.
Third, the communal encyclopedias focus too frequently, and in too great a depth, on trivial and popular topics, which creates a false impression of what is important and what is not. A child doing research for a school project may discover that a major historical event receives as much attention in anonline encyclopedia as, say, a single long-running television program. The traditional encyclopedia provides a considered view of what topics to include or exclude and contains a sense of proportion that online "democratic" communal encyclopedias do not.
The reading cast doubts on communal online encyclopedias while the lecture deems that traditional encyclopedias are not better than online encyclopedias and the online encyclopedias only need to pay a small price to get.
First, the reading debuts that online encyclopedias include many mistakes and the traditional encyclopedias are formed by trained experts which are more trustworthy. Instead, the lecture mentions there is no such encyclopedia contains no error. Online encyclopedias have the data remained for decades and can be obtain easier than traditional encyclopedias.
The insecurity is another point put forward by the reading. Hackers, vandals, and any other people can fabricate or destroy the online information without permission. Albeit the online encyclopedias are open to the public, the special editors and read-only format type can protect the online encyclopedias from being changed or deleted proposed by the lecture.
Lastly, the reading claims that the online encyclopedias can cause false impression and the importance cannot be point out . Nonetheless, the lecture rebuts it. Since the limited space can constrain the traditional encyclopedias, there must be have the main points in those data. Without any boundaries, online encyclopedias can reach to an expansive range of diversity.
