Alyssa is researching the benefits of technology in the classroom. She found a research article written in 1999 entitled, "Technology Improves Student Focus." Is this a good resource to use?


Yes, because it supports her thesis.


Yes, because it uses research.


No, because technology has changed too much since 1999. It's no longer relevant.


No, because it's not from a reliable source.

Answer 1

Yes, because it uses research.

Answer 2

Answer:

No, because technology has changed too much since 1999. It's no longer relevant.

Explanation:

It is difficult to pinpoint what relevance entails when conducting research. A relevant resource for a philosopher could be millennia old, whilst for a sociologist, it could be a couple of years old, because anything older would no longer be pertinent in certain research scenarios. Nevertheless, in the scenario proposed above —researching the benefits of technology in the classroom, one would assume, in today´s world— it would be safe to say that an article written in 1999, more than 20 years ago, is definitely no longer relevant, argumentatively, for any contemporary research, because both society and technology have changed dramatically ever since.
