You are researching the newest operating system for the computers in your office. One particular site you found useful is a personal blog by a software engineer. Is this an objective source

Answer:

No. It is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before an online source can be considered objective it should either contain the advantages and disadvantages of the argument. This implies that it should satisfy both sides of the point. Or better still it should come from the website such as educational (.edu), government (.gov), military (.mil), Organization (.org)

Though, given that the author is a software engineer, it can be considered accurate, reasonable, and reliable. However, since it is a personal website the motive of the software engineer in writing the post might make it subjective and deliberately exclude certain information.

Hence, in this is the case, it is not an objective source.
