The reading and the lecture discuss the importance and the quality of the communal online encyclopedias. The author of the reading thinks that they are not valuable or accurate. However, the lecturer refutes all the claims in the reading passage.
First, the article argues that online encyclopedias lack accuracy. The professor, on the other hand, rejects this opinion by stating that even traditional ones have errors and it is nearly impossible to find any encyclopedia without mistakes. Moreover, online data can be easily corrected or revised, which is opposite to the traditional ones.
Second, the text contends that the online encyclopedias are liable for hacking and misleading with the information. The speaker rebuts this assumptions by explaining that even it may be partially true, but now the facts on any encyclopedias are read-only which protect it from any possible threat. What is more, the encyclopedias hires editors whose job is to edit and revise the information, which eliminates the chances of untruthful data.
Third, the passage posits that the online encyclopedias focus more on trivial topics. Conversely, the lecturer casts doubt on this notion. She elaborates that it a positive thing to have many topics that really reflect the different interests of people. Besides, the academic topics also exist for those want them. Hence, the online resources are more varied and covers different fields of subjects and topics.
