The author of the reading acclaim that traditional encyclopedias are worthier than online encyclopedias and provides 3 reasons of support. All these arguments are challenged by the lecturer. She is of the opinion that none of these claims is literally correct.

First of all, the writer contends that traditional encyclopedias is most accurate than online ones because they are collected by experts in this field, but in the online encyclopedias, non academic people also can make changes. The speaker challenges this argument. She says the writer of reading has bias against online encyclopedias without having more information about them. She states that not only the online encyclopedias, but also printed encyclopedias in some cases can be inaccurate. But the discrepancy between two type is that online encyclopedias can be changed but the printed encyclopedias remain with errors without eliminating them.

Secondly, the author argues that the online encyclopedias can expose by hackers because of communal nature of them. The lecturer, on the other hand, explains that this is correct, but there are some ways can protect the communal online encyclopedias from hackers. The first way is making crucial facts unchangeable and another way is employing staff for eliminating all the irrational contents that might be made by hackers.

The speaker, however posits with mentioning that the printed encyclopedias can not accommodate all types of topics in themselves due to limitation space, whereas the online type can be contained numerous diversity of subjects.
