1) Although the topic of the paper seems technical, the writer starts their paper by introducing technical terms from the perspective of a non-professional. The terms Internet of Things (IOT) and smart city is presented with explanations and brief definitions. Real world examples are also given that widen the reader's understanding of the topic. While just using the terms IOT or smart city may technically overflood the paper, the writer uses examples like smart parking meters where users pay through their smartphones instead of the traditional coin-in method. After the introduction, the executive summary moves into the main conflict, and then introduces the solution. As someone who is not in this field, it was easy for me to understand what the writer was talking about.
