The article introduces the topic of communal encyclopedias. The writer says that these encyclopedias are online and have latest resources for various subjects on the internet. Here, a reader can not only consume the content, but can also contribute and make changes. The author states that this format of encyclopedias has many problems and therefore offline traditional encyclopedias are superior. The lecturer disagrees. He is of the opinion that communal encyclopedias are much better than the traditional ones and attacks each of the arguments made by the writer.
Firstly, the article states that the contributors to communal encyclopedias lack academic credentials and therefore can add on inaccurate information to these resources. He elaborates by saying that since they are not trained experts, these online encyclopedias will have a multitude of errors. The lecturer disagrees. He points out that online resources offer far more than traditional ones, and that even the old- format encyclopedias have various errors. In fact, atleast the errors on the communal encyclopedias can be modified and corrected, unlike the physical ones that cannot be changed for years.
Secondly, according to the article, hackers and unscrupulous users have a chance to fabricate, delete or make changes to the material of the communal encyclopedias, and there is no method of knowing that the information has been tampered with. However, the professor rebuts this by stating that nowadays there are different strategies to control this concern. To mitigate such inappropriate actions, essential information of articles is kept in a ‘read only’ mode which cannot be edited. Furthermore, special editors are hired to keep an eye on changes that are being made, and delete any bad additions. He also adds that these precautions help enhance the reliability of the communal encyclopedias.
Lastly, the article mentions that these communal encyclopedias, due to their online mode, focus greatly on trivial topics that are trending or popular. He elaborates on the magnitude of this problem by giving an instance of a child researching for a school project, who is presented with equal material on crucial historical events and popular TV shows. He therefore believes that traditional encyclopedias know better as to what content must be included. On the contrary, the lecturer argues that online formats do not have any space limitations, and consequently are better equipped to include information on a variety of topics to cater to the diverse interests of the users.
In conclusion, it is clear that the author and the lecturer hold very different views on communal encyclopedias.
