A- The author is Ruth Homer. She is qualified to write about this topic
because she works at RF Digital Systems providing one stop design,
supply and installation solution to costumers for TV Aerials, Satellite TV,
and Home Automation and Security.
A- The information is somewhat accurate. By that I mean you could look to
see if the information the article supplied is correct. There is facts on the
article that could be seen as evidence ergo the small fact about the UN
report.
P- The article was written to inform the public. There is no bias and no
material objective.

5.)
a) Ease of Access: The first Internet Article is easier to access because all
you have to do is click the link and boom your there. The DB article has
to be found by having to log into the CCBC library website, then finding
the article, then clicking two links to get to the article.
b) Timeliness: The First Internet Article was published first on August 2 nd
2015. It is quick to read in a timely fashion. The Db article was
published second in June of 2015. It is a bit lengthy to read and is more
time consuming.
c)
Authority: The Internet Article was written by a woman named Ruth
Homer. She has a job at a tech company, and is not a manager which
gives her no authoritative power per say. The DB article was written by a
man named David Andrew Pybus. He is just a man writing for a medical
journal implying that he also has no authority.
