"Can Technology Save the Military From a Data Deluge"

     I read the article "Can Technology Save the Military From a Data Deluge" by Clay Dillow.  This article was published in Popular Science.  It discusses how the military is being bombarded with data and other information and their systems are being overloaded.  It discusses how the military are trying to adapt to the increase in data.  They are trying to teach computers to take in this information without having to have a human operator analyze every piece of data that comes in.  This article follows scientific writing.  It uses scientific data, complex words, and other pieces of information about the military that is more specific to a more specific audience.  The author uses the names of specific technology and other military equipment.  This shows that the author is writing for a specific audience but he is not writing for a very educated person.  He does spend time explaining his points and backing his information.  He takes the time to explain why some of his points will not work.  He takes the time to explain to the reader why.  This helps a reader that is not educated in this field understand what he is talking about. Overall I think the way he wrote his article is very informative and any level of reader would be able to understand the article.
