TOEFL integrated writing: communal online encyclopedia

The author says that communal online encyclopedias are priceless and represents three reasons to support this statement. On the other hand, the professor rebuts these reasons and believes that claiming communal online encyclopedias are worthless is far prejudiced.

First of all, the author states that communal online encyclopedias are partially informed and full of errors. The professor disagrees with this notion, mentioning that it is impossible to find an online or off-line encyclopedia without any errors and indeed it can find errors in printed encyclopedias if references are reviewed comprehensively. Furthermore, mistakes in communal online encyclopedias can be corrected whereas in printed versions they are remained for decades.

Secondly, it is claimed in the article that hackers can write wrong or corrupt information in the online encyclopedias. The professor opposes this hypothesis by saying that there are special formats for crucial information in the online encyclopedias and every users cannot change these formats. Furthermore, a group of professional editors scrutinise all the input information and they will remove any malicious changes of information.

Finally, author mentions that online encyclopedias are trivial or focused deeply on superficial subjects which would attract readers attention while the traditional encyclopedias are more sophisticated. The professor refutes this idea by providing the fact that the printed encyclopedias are judged by a limited number of academic people who their decision may not represent a whole range of audiences. Another factor is space. In printed encyclopedias, writers are limited in space while in online encyclopedias they can write about a great variety of topics. Therefore, the diversity is the main and great advantage of online encyclopedias.

In conclusion, according to the lecture, online encyclopedias are invaluable and misjudge about its usefulness would be far from impartial judgment. Audiences can easily access to a diverse amount of information and editors can easily remove any incorrect or corrupted information.
