Research pt. 2

• The search tool you used and why (e.g., "I used Ask.com because it organizes search results in a useful format").

• The two best sites you found: give the full URLs and URLs to any specific pages that are especially helpful

• http://www.savetheinternet.com/frequently-asked-questions?gclid=CMKav8zxnagCFUgbQgodohdQHQ
• Your evaluation of the credibility and reliability of these sites:
• What individual or organization is responsible for the site and what is their purpose or mission?
• One site is a bunch of people who unite together to help save the internet with the help of businesses and non profit organizations
• How is the site funded?
• The site is funded by donations and businesses who support their cause to save the internet.
• How current is the information?
• The information is current because it is updated by some blogs and there is a recent video of an interview on net neutrality.
• What useful information about how your technology works is there on the site?  Be sure to note any useful images and diagrams that would help explain and translate technical information for an audience of your peers. 
• There is a very helpful video on one of the sites that explains how net neutrality works and the other site walks the reader through what is going on in congress as well as net neutrality itself.

Given your answers to the questions above, what kind of information might be missing or unreliable on the site?  What other kinds of sites should you search for that might provide the missing information? The thing I really like about one of the sites that I have not seen yet is what I can do to help. It gives me the option to help fight for what I believe on this issue. One thing these sites do not have is a diagram of what is going on for possible visual learners. I myself am a visual learner and would learn about net neutrality better if I saw a picture.

Presentation Research

• The search tool you used and why (e.g., "I used Ask.com because it organizes search results in a useful format").  I used Google scholar because it gave me a number of credible journals about net neutrality and has the full texts available for viewing.


• The exact search terms you used (e.g., "I searched three times, using these terms: “wiretap,” "pen trap", and "data mining") I searched four times on google scholar using these terms: "net neutrality", "debate over net neutrality" "FCC net neutrality" and "government view on net neutrality"


• I searched once on Google web using "net neutrality"

The site is well organized and have links to what the FCC thinks about the issue and the positives and negatives about net neutrality going away.


• Given your answers to the questions above, what kind of information might be missing or unreliable on the site?  What other kinds of sites should you search for that might provide the missing information? The only thing that I would like to see on this page is what I can do to help if anything. If I feel strongly about net neutrality is there any way I can voice my opinion on it? I could search specifically for public impact on net neutrality to possibly find this information.

Stove

I do not appreciate the severity of Patrick Stover's latest post about his group members. The error was not controllable by the members themselves. He had no right to lash out like that about us. We are intelligent beings and he is just immature.
