This set of material is about the communal online encyclopedias. The passage points out several factors that make the online encyclopedia less valuable and reliable than traditional, printed encyclopedias. However, in the leacture, the professor argues that the disadvantages that the passage points out is not plausible.
First of all, the passage states that since it is open to every user online to read and contribute, many errors may be contained in the online encyclopedias becuase of the lack of academic credentials of the editors. The lecture denies this statement by suggesting that many errors are found in printed encyclopedias as well. Compare to the traditional encyclopedias in which the errors may remain dacades long, the online encyclopedias can be edified and corrected much more quickly.
In the second place, the passage argues that providing the access and right to edit to everyone makes hacking a serious problem to the reliability of the online encyclopedias. In the lecture, the professor stetes that this arguement, however, is false. Most of the online encyclopedias are protected. They have special editors to verify content regularly and the curcial parts are offerred with read only format which no body can make changes or delete them.
Third, the passage suggests that the online encyclopeias simply contains too much information and lack of concentration. The lecture argue that this is actually one of the biggest advantage over the its traditional counterpart. Because the interests of people varies dramaticly, different people may want to know different parts of the story, the online encyclopeias can provides all of them in unlimited space which the traditional encyclopedias do not have.
