Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they oppose the specific points made in the reading passage.
The reading passage and the lecture discuss whether communal encyclopedias are better than traditional ones. The author states that the opportunity to use the site for all Internet users made it unreliable, unverified and trivial. The lecturer disagrees with each point made in the reading and suggests that despite these shortcomings, there are special programs that combat intruders, errors and make the information valuable.
First of all, the reading argues that client’s lack of academic credentials leads to inaccuracy, which does not occur on professional’s paper encyclopedias. However, the speaker contends that although there are errors, it is mostly humans’ prejudice as flaws are seen everywhere. In addition, online mistakes are usually easily removed than the printed ones.
Secondly, it is claimed that as every user can tweak articles, there can be vandals and hackers, who confuses ordinary readers. The lecturer undermines this point by mentioning modern strategies against corrections of totally authentic information. Moreover, special editors monitor site's activity daily, looking for each fix there.
Finally, the article states that truistic topics make communal encyclopedias a gathering of unnecessary and superfluous data, which is thoroughly filtered in traditional books. In the lecture, the professor expresses his approval towards this variety of interests for each user. The absence of popularized themes he explains by the lack of space on paper, which gives an advantage to online encyclopedia and its approach.
