investments affect worker productivity, and cleared up the confusion between company

overall productivity and IT investments. The author of this source does not seem bias, but

instead, she is objective and to the point. This source did not give much statistical

information, because it was mostly an opinionated writing. The author is a trusted vice

president at Gartner Inc., so this author can be relied on, although she did not mention

any sources. This source directly links to the topic of company revenue and technology,

and can be used to prove an opinionated point on the topic.

Johnson, Steven. How We Got to Now: Six Innovations That Made the Modern World. New York,

Riverhead Books, a member of Penguin Group (USA), 2014. This source focuses on six

specific innovations that had a big effect on modernity. The author goes into specific

detail about the history and the effect of the innovation. This book is a reliable resource

because the author dedicates several pages for a Work Cited list. This author has made

many reliable books before, and is a trusted author. Although, some of the examples the

author provided were not very recent, which is disappointing. Also, the author sometimes

went a bit of topic. This book will provide outlook on how certain innovations

revolutionized the worker industry. Many of these innovations led to more innovation and

increased productivity in employees.
