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 onlineencyclopedias 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 an online 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.
Both the reading and lecture discuss about the communal online encycopedias, one of contemporary sources where contributors can add new article as well as can make editorial changes. The former argues that as unlike traditional encycopedias, latest online resources has huge problems, and provides a three issues to support, but latter challenges each of these points.
First of all, the author of the passage asserts that communal online encycopedias contributirs are often lack in education, and does not hold any accuracy than traditional experts. However, the professor in the lecture counters that there is none perfect exist in the world. Even a reference either online or offline hold errors, there are not any sources where every article is 100% accurate or right.
Secondly, according to the passage, experts opined that communal online encycopedias gives chance to hackers to hack the crucial information which is not possible in traditional encycopedias. In contrast, the lecture strongly object this idea. She supports her argument by presenting the example of reliability of communal online encycopedias. The format of latest resources cannot be changes which kept the information safely, and there are several editors to monitor the articles frequently, if someone dare to hack also, then editor can change them quickly.
Finally, the passage claims that contemporary online encycopedias contents are banal, which makes reader, and scholar due to mundane common topics. Nevertheless, like two reasons before, the professor in her lecture proclaims that this idea is not feasible because traditional have limited space. Unlike modern online encycopedias, traditional encycopedias do not have great variety of articles. The academic online encycopedias contains massive number of articles which might be great advantages her searchers.
