Article Evaluation

In both articles it appears that the information stayed on topic. While both articles remained neutral and relatively unbiased there was a strong trend toward minorities being overall disadvantaged when it comes to internet availability. The only part of the articles that was distracting was the length of the articles and often repetitive statements in numerous paragraphs. The links and citation work in both articles and all appear to come from reliable sources. There does not seem to be strong bias in these articles and the facts stated are supported appropriately. The information is mostly up to date as it takes several years to update new statistics from around the globe. It appears that both articles were part of a Wkiproject. On the talk pages there are a tremendous amount of edits and conversations about the articles. The article Digital Divide seems to have had more information added and edited throughout the years while it appears that a large amount of the information pertaining to the Digital Divide in Canada was archived and then edits continued to be made. The Digital Divide in Canada was given a C-rating while the Digital Divide was given two different rating, C-rating and start-rating, based on the type of information rated. It appears that the way the discussion are similar to what we discussed in class. It seems much more comprehensive when looking at the talk pages. There are many edits made and an abundance of information added throughout both articles.

Increasing Information and Communication Technology in Vietnam

For years numerous organizations have worked to close the gap in the digital divide in Vietnam and are still currently working to close the ever growing gap in information and communication technology in Vietnam.. In 2011, The World Bank extended a project for an additional two years in an attempt to complete the process of installing software and conducting training. This technology and training would potentially allow for the expansion of small businesses, make current systems work more effectively and disseminate information on a larger scale. Most internet speeds within Vietnam at that time were incredibly slow and thus make obtaining information difficult. This attempt at closing the digital divide was largely unsuccessful and extremely expensive. The total cost of this project was $106.97 million US dollars. Although this project was unsuccessful organizations continue to assist Vietnam in closing the digital divide.
