a) Dominos Pizzas Appetite for Risk tells the reader
about the old and new digital technology being used
by the company and why. Dominos wants to not only
satisfy their customers, but to wow them as well.
By doing so, they introduced an app where one can
place and order online instead of calling in their order
or going into a store. Dominos then introduced the
pizza tracker app, which allows the customer to know
when their pizza is on its way along with the location
of the driver.

a) The article was written on June 3, 2015 and updated June 4, 2015
b) Yes, the article did relate to my topic. My topic is Mobile Technology. The article is
about the new mobile technology that could be used by customers.
c) The author is Asha Barbaschow. I am not sure if she is qualified to write about this
topic. I could not find any information on her. Her name was not a part of the meet
the team section either.
d) No, this information is not trustworthy. I say no because nothing is cited, nor are
there and references. It seems as though the author was just writing from her own
knowledge. There are no supporting details and the information has not been
tested. Dominos may have actually introduced the products; however, how do we
know they actually are accurate?
e) This article may have been written to inform everyone of Dominos engagement
with new technology. The article does seem a bit biased due to the fact that there
are no references or supporting details. It also may have been written to introduce
their apps to the world along with getting people to use the apps.

a) Finding the article in the database was a lot easier than finding an article on the
internet. There are so many websites with misleading and incorrect information on
the internet. Using the database was more trustworthy than using the internet. The
database was able to give references for the information they provided. The
database also told what type of document the reader was reading, such as an
academic journal or a book. It gave more options than the internet.
b) Using the database to find an article was quicker than using the internet. The
database allowed one to search a topic and gave multiple results. It also allowed the
results to be filtered in order to find the best type of document. Using the internet
took more time because a reliable source had to be used. A lot of information on the
internet is not true, making it much harder to find a reliable source of information

c) The information found within the database was a lot more helpful and trustworthy
due to the site letting the reader know what they are reading, such as a book,
ebook, or article. It also gave references to the information being provided. The
internet did not give such information. The reader cannot rely on the internet for
reliable information. The way technology works today, anyone can make an article
on the internet and not be qualified to do so.
