1) The title of the article is Social Media Recruitment. The author is Christine
Andrews and the date is was written is November of 2012. It did not say the
exact date.

The article is about recruiting participants for clinical trial and how social media
has made it better to do so. It talks about at first how a long time ago, all they had
was paper to try to get people to do these trials. After that it developed into
television and radio. These were better than paper, but it was a one-way thing
because the people watching could not talk back to what they were listening too.
Even though these ways are still important today, the internet and online tools
made it a lot better for recruitment.

Once social media came out, people started to use websites, such as facebook
and twitter, in their everyday lives. This helped out with the people finding
participants because it was faster, more efficient, could get feedback fast, and was
not as expensive. Now, people can download all kinds of things to help them with
their medical needs with just he click of a button. Even though this is such a good
thing, it still has some disadvantages. These include corruption, deceit, immoral
practices, and the chance of someone getting your personal information. Overall,
social media has changed the way people are recruited, and more people are getting
helped because of it.

2) The article is called Spam as a Problem for Small Agriculture Business. The
authors are A. Vasilenko and V. Ocenasek. All it says is the year it was written
and that is 2013.

This article talks about the problems of electronic communication between
business and the customer. It talks about how the main tool which is used is
email and the main problem with it is the possibility of misusing a third
person. The article says that 80% of all emails are spam emails. This is a bad
thing when email is one of the main ways that you communicate. All of these
spam emails can make a person overlooking an important email that is mixed
up with all of the spam. There are many tools to help with spam, but they are
not the most efficient.

The problem with spam emails is that you cannot stop the cause
because of the freedom of the internet. They can keep on doing it even
though everyone does not like them. The only way to stop them is by the user
of the computer. They can be sent over and over with just a little bit changed
in each one. It is up to the user to detect and try to stop these spam
messages.
