Both the reading and the passage discuss the communal encyclopedia. The author of the passage believes that traditional printed encyclopedias are better than the online ones and for this assertion provides three reasons. On the other hand, the professor in the lecture casts doubt on these reasons and states that online encyclopedia is better than the traditional counterpart.
At first, the passage states that many people that do not have academic education write the communal encyclopedias. Hence, they are not reliable and wrong information in the online encyclopedia is more than traditional printed ones. However, the professor in the lecture acclaims that the errors exist in both of them and it is not related to on or offline encyclopedia. He also, states that the errors in printed encyclopedia will remain for decades; hence, it will be more harmful.
Second, the passage states that the communal nature of the online encyclopedia gives this opportunity to hackers to delete the information or insert the wrong data. The lecture challenges this claim and explains that there are several ways for prohibiting the insertion of hackers. For instance, there is the read-only format for the information or we can hire a person whose job is controlling the information.
Finally, the passage makes a point about the importance of things. For example, the importance of historical events may not be mentioned correctly in the online encyclopedias. On the other, the professor in the lecture believes that the judgment of an academic group is not correct because is decided by a little group of people. Instead, in the online encyclopedia, the judgment belongs to a great diversity of people hence, it is more reliable and valid than the traditional encyclopedia.

The author of the passage
The author of the passage states that online encyclopedias will not be worthwhile for several reasons. However, the professor opposes this by saying that the online encyclopedias will be better than traditional encyclopedias and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading cast doubt of the authenticity of online information that the encyclopedia provides by saying that they are not written by experts. The professor refutes this point by saying that the existing traditional encyclopedia is not accurate as well. The error information of the traditional encyclopedia is hard to correct because it is printed. In contrast, the error of the online encyclopedia can be corrected easily compared to the traditional encyclopedia.
Second, the article posits that there are possibilities of fabrication of the online encyclopedia's information by dishonest users and hackers. However, the professor says that the authority takes two important steps: a special format that prevents hacking and special auditors board who always check for fabrication, to prevent corruption and false information.
Finally, the reading says that excessive detail information on a topic will often create false impression and people will not be able to distinguish what is important and what is unnecessary. The professor opposes this point by explaining that the detail information will attract and facilitate users because of its diversified information on a topic that is not possible in the traditional encyclopedia due to lack of space.
