a. The Enabling of Ad Blocking in Apples iOS 9 Prompts Backlash talks about ad blockers and
that story shows how you will feel if you like or dislike the ad blockers. It shows that 45 million
people have installed a blocker and I believe it is more people who would like to a blocker. In
this article its said this all ads should be treated the same way and that seems impossible.

a. The Enabling of Ad Blocking in Apples iOS 9 Prompts Backlash was written on September
18, 2015. No, it hasnt been updated.
b. Yes, it relates to the topic.
c. The authors are Katie Benner and Sydney Ember.

keep things away. I think they want to inform people about what has been happening behind
closed doors with their phones.
e. This article was written to inform more people how to block information on Apple cell phones.
Yes, there is a bias because the authors dont like the way Apples does the blocking.

a. With the Article, I feel that hearing about a prejudice use because of the way they used the
women in Australia. After reading that the article wasnt interesting at all. The only thing
interesting in that article was that they promoted nutrition.
b. I know that numerous years ago there were times when there was a lot of prejudice times such
a people being slaves. Over the years that has gone away in most places. Unfortunately, there
are still some areas where prejudice still occurs. I think that because of the year we are in there
shouldnt be any prejudice.
c. With the authority I dont feel that this article made the correct authority. When, I hear about
authority I think of being in charge and I may be wrong, but I dont see how authority is in this
particular article. Once I think about it since there are people who are in charge there is authority,
but comparing the computer to disadvantaged women it doesnt make since.
