The main topic is defined as a difficult choice between classical voting systems and computerized versions of an election. The reading is about advantages of electronic voting systems with examples from everyday life. The lecturer opposes ideas and reasons provided by the author in the reading and tells that it is hardly to believe that computer voting system is possible to use.
Firstly, the author tells that there is no chance to make a mistake when a person vote on a computer. He explains that for many residents with disabilities it may be much easier to choose a picture of a particular candidate on the screen, than trying to find him on a piece of paper. The speaker opposes that idea by providing an explanation, that for people who know technology well it will be very easy, but for elder people it may be stressful because of the fear of new unknown systems.
Secondly, in the reading it is said that a program can’t make a mistake during calculating the people’s votes, because the process is fully automated and humans don’t take part in it. However, the lecturer explains that the program can be made wrong and because of lack of physical copies of votes, the program is able to lose all the votes and as a result the election will fail.
Finally, the author of the reading provides an example of bank’s systems that are used for transactions and many other financial operations among many people in the world. He emphasizes, that it can be a good example of well working system. On the other hand, the speaker explains that financial organizations spend huge amounts of money to service and maintain such systems and, in the case of a poll that takes place once in two or four years, it can be very expensive and inefficient.
