tpo6-integrated task
The lecture and the reading are both about Communal online encyclopedias and printed encyclopedias. The author of the reading believes that communal online encyclopedias are not reliable sources to get precise information from them. The lecture casts doubt on the claims made in reading by mentioning that the reasons for the reading are not persuasive enough and communal online encyclopedias are better than printed encyclopedias.
First of all, the reading claims that people who have written Communal online encyclopedias do not have an accepted academic degree which makes these encyclopedias susceptible to having the wrong information. The lecture challenges this point. She says that even printed encyclopedias are not free of errors, and they are not entirely perfect. Furthermore, she points out that correcting the wrong parts is way easier in Communal online encyclopedias than printed ones.
Secondly, the reading states that communal online encyclopedias provide hackers with the opportunity to manipulate the data and spread fake information. The author argues that printed encyclopedias are immune to this kind of manipulation. The lecture rebuts this .she elaborates on this by mentioning that two significant steps can be taken in communal online encyclopedias to ensure that they will not promote misinformation. Firstly, the core part of the information is developed in read-only formats, and nobody can change it unless they are permitted. Secondly, professional editors constantly check the contents, and they will delete any wrong ones as they notice them.
Finally, the author mentions that communal online encyclopedias contain trivial and unnecessary information, which can bias users and make online communal encyclopedias perform poorly in representing what is false and what is right. The reading mentions that printed encyclopedias give information in a well-distributed manner. On the other hand, the lecture states that printed encyclopedias are limited in terms of space and cannot reflect a wide range of interests.
