Article Comparison between "Don't Buy Anyone an Echo" and "My Smart Speaker is Cool! ..."

Sufficiency:

In article two, there is almost no support of any of the claims made (except for one report made by “Wired”), meanwhile, the first article has support to cover every claim made, from the popularity of smart speakers, their usefulness, and features, to what makes something "cool".

Typicality:

The one point of evidence in the second article was specific to the point made, and in the first article, the support was broad and covered every claim.

Accuracy:

In both articles the support was up to date and recent (article 1 ranged from 2015 - 2019, and article 2 had support from 2017). Both were also from reliable sources, yet the first was more reliable than the latter.

Relevance:

In both articles the support was relevant to the claim. In the first it specifically covered every point made, and in the second it set the tone that the author was intending to set.

CLAIM:
- Article 1's claim is that smart speakers have a positive benefit economically, functionally, and socially, all while having an overall "cool" perception by consumers.
- Article 2's claim is that smart speakers are prone to many underlying issues that tech companies don't want to address and that they should not be bought.
SUFFICIENCY:
- The author's for article 1 provide lots of strong evidence like statistics, research, studies, and provide an informative table to further support their claim.
- The author for article 2 provides little to no evidence, and has weak support when the author does provide evidence to back up his claim.
TYPICALITY:
- The evidence provided in article 1 is not broad enough as they only touch base on American consumers and not the global market for smart speakers.
- The evidence the author for article 2 provided to the readers is very specific, making it hard for a reader to agree with their claim.
ACCURACY:
- The evidence from article 1 is accurate as it comes from up to date credible studies and research.
- The evidence provided in the second article is not accurate and not up to date.
RELEVANCE:
- Both articles are looking at American consumers opinions on smart speakers, making it irrelevant to Canadian consumers.
- You could, however, argue that Canadian views on technology are similar to Americans was we share similar trends economically.
EVALUATION:
- I think that the author's for article 1 effectively supported their claim because they had provided many credible reasons/evidence to back up their claim.
- I do not think the author for article 2 supported their claim as they had many claims with little to no evidence that was weakly supported.

In looking at both articles, it can be said that the first article is highly opinion based and the other is more objective. Also, the second article  is more credible than the first; in that the first one was written by one person with limited evidence of thorough research. Whereas, the second article was written by several writers. Thus, demonstrating that latter is more sufficient.

As it relates to the accuracy both articles, the second one was more recent and established a progression of research in showing the timeline (2017-2019) period in which the research was conducted. However, the first one was only written with no studies to support the claim.

The studies  for “…Is Cool” concluded that one in four consumers in the USA have a smart speakers. Thus, demonstrating the accuracy of article based on the various research methods that were used as opposed to the first article.

Three years ago, we said the Echo was “the most innovative device Amazon’s made in years.” That’s still true. But you shouldn’t buy one. You shouldn’t buy one for your family. You definitely should not buy one for your friends. In fact, ignore any praise we’ve ever heaped onto smart speakers and voi…
