Article Evaluation
This article contained a lot of information relevant to the topic that was displayed. It did well at defining the specific topic to discuss and how it differed from other similar topics. The information seemed up to date; and the article was last revised on September 7, 2018. I liked how a section was included that listed the careers that stemmed from information science. The article was neutral in tone and did not appear biased in any way. The sources were mostly academic articles that were neutral and related to the intended topic.Although most of the citations I checked were valid, I did find out citation link that did not lead directly to the intended article. The article was rated B-Class for WikiProject Libraries and rated Start-Class for WikiProject Computer Science. In regard to the Talk Page, the main topic being discussed was the correlation of informatics to information science. Also, I did notice a few discussions related to bad external citation links and the corrections that went along with it.

The coastal, more rural areas like Western Wales have internet usage rates of 59-70%. [1]

Men in the United Kingdom are more likely to use the internet than women are. When comparing internet usage, The Office for National Statistics found that 91% of men, compared to 89% of women had used the internet recently. Around 9.7% of women have never used the internet, while only 7.1% of men have never used the internet. Men, also, tend to be more tech savy than women and generally more interested in using the internet. [3]
