Article evaluation


 * I believe everything in the article was relevant to the article topic because it consisted of its definitions, world-wide effects, and what it was like in other countries all around the world, which all felt relevant.
 * The article is neutral. There were no bias statements like "in my opinion" and all the claims were backed up by outside sources. It wasn't heavily focused on one group either.
 * There were instances where "citizen-lead initiatives" felt overrepresented over "Government-led initiatives."
 * Some of the sources did not have actual links to the sources, but rather links to purchase eBooks which does not allow you to verify the source. The links did always redirect me to some sort of other site
 * Not all sources were referenced with an appropriate, reliable source. One of the links directed me to airBnB's homepage which was useless as it contained no information. From the other sources I looked at, it typically does not look like the sources are biased.
 * Some sources dated back from 2010 which was a completely different era from today. These sources should be updated.
 * Most of the conversations were critiquing the article so they mentioned things like bias, sources, and the information that was included
 * It is rated "start-class, low-importance". It is part of the technology, politics, sociology, freedom of speech, and globalization projects.
 * Wikipedia discusses civic technology really similarly to the way we've talked about it in class, however, I noticed that we focused more on how it effects our lives directly in the United States while the article had a huge focus on what civic technology meant globally.
 * Question: What do you think the future of civic technology looks like globally and what needs to be done in order to reach that level of advancement?
