Encyclopedias
The presented article discusses the features of online encyclopedias. The author claims that this conception has a lot of issues relatively to traditional printed encyclopedias. However, the lecturer challenges his points one by one.
At first, the author writes that online encyclopedias are vulnerable because of possible lack of knowledges of editors and, as a consequence, may contain inaccurate information. The lecturer casts doubt on this point. He notices that there are a lot of mistakes in traditional encyclopedias too, because it is written by a small group of authors. However, online encyclopedias can potentially involve unlimited number of people to edit it. Hence, all mistakes are supposed to be eventually found and corrected, whereas in a traditional one it will stay forever.
Secondly, the author thinks that there is a trouble wih possible deliberate fabrication of information. The lecturer admits that this problem exists. But, he adds, there are number of ways invented to deal with it. For example, some information may be recognized as undisputed. The another way is to have a group of experienced editors who will be checking changes in articles and remove those having signs of misleading.
Finally, the author proves that online encyclopedias tend to promote popular but unimportant topics. The lecturer opposes it. He says that nobody can solely decide what topic is important, but traditional encyclopedias actually do exactly this. Moreover, he adds, really important topics such as, for example, historical events which are described in solid books will appear in online encyclopedias too, because it is possible to convey them.
