An iPhone for People Who Hate Apple

This article introduces the new Samsung Galaxy S6 mobile phone which is almost the exact same phone
as the iPhone 6. It is purposefully designed for people who are not comfortable with Apple products
and is far better than previous Galaxy S phones. The new Galaxy S6 is remarkably faster with high
definition displays, has a 16-megapixel camera, a turbo charger, 32GB of storage, and even has a
fingerprint-sensor home button.

Wood, Molly. "In Chase of Apple, Smartphone Makers Shift Strategies." The New York Times.
The New York Times, 04 Mar. 2015. Web. 28 Mar. 2015.

I ran a search using the keywords mobile technology on both Google and Bing search engines.

GOOGLE
Wikipedia
Gizmag
Images
Information, news, how to advice
421,000,000 results

BING
Cisco
Wikipedia
Gizmag
Information, news, how to advice
102,000,000 results

I dont necessarily think that one of the search engines was better than the other, however,
Google did offer more results than Bing.

TRAPP

TIME The article in step 2 was written on 03/26/2015 and has not been updated
RELEVANCE it relates directly to my topic of mobile technology
AUTHORITY David Goldman , CNN Technology Editor is the author of this article. I would assume that
CNN would not hire this man if he was not an accurate authority on the topic.
ACCURATE I believe this information to be trustworthy based on the information and comparisons
made by its author. I was also able to find additional articles on this very same topic.
PURPOSE this articles was written to inform the public. I believe the material to be objective.
5a.
Internet article 1 was more easily accessible than DB article 1 because of the nature of the
search engine. I feel that it is much easier to use an internet search engine than the CCBC library
website. Its not that its difficult to use the library site, its just much quicker and to the point to use an
internet search engine.
5b.
Internet article 1 was able to be obtained in a more timely manner than DB article 1, again,
because of the nature of the search engine. It is quicker to type your key words into the search engine
than to go onto the CCBC website and go through the process of logging into their scholarly journals.
5c.
I feel as though Internes article 1 and DB article 1 were both written with equal amount of
authority. I feel as though the technology editor for CNN knows about the information he is reporting
on, just as Edward Chapel, who writes for the Journal of Computing in Higher Education, would know
the facts that he is reporting for his article.
