the success of wireless

the invention of wireless technology is a breakthough in the technological world as it allows anyone with a close wireless hub, and access to a connection to go online on a laptop or computer from anywhere within a radius to this hub, this is good because, as the daknet system shows, this can be utilised to supply whole villages with access to the internret, even if only for a short amount of time, this is helping to bridge the gap of the digital divide. this has benifits to everyone as it brings poorer countries into the 21st century, and provides them with a system that is ever growing in importance to the global economy, and to the world its self.

daknet

this is a good way of providing a wireless service, but is only usefull for a short period of time, and the villages should look for alternatives to this way of using computers in order to gain the long term benifits. this is also a good idea as it is cheaper than putting up towers to give people in the villages perminant access to the internet, however this is only realy usefull for a short term period.

reducing the divide

the world will benifit from the bridging of the gap, or the divide, as then there will be easier and quicker, and also a lot cheaper communication across countries, and this will make it a lot easier to pass information across countries via email. this is also better for the poorer nations of the world, as they then will be able to give people new usefull skills, and also will be able to give them a better means of communicating with the rest of the world. there are organisations such as computer aid which allow people to help get computers in these less developed countries, and they do lots of good in these poorer countries.

data response

A reliable power supply to operate the computers, a well-functioning telephone network to transmit data, foreign currency to import the technology, and computer-literate personnel are all prerequisites for the successful use of IT. Such infrastructural elements remain inadequate in many African countries. the main problem for africa is the lack of ICT skills in the country, and then lack of facilities that are there to solve thjis problem. there has been sucess with the computer aid missions, as many more people in these countries now have computers, and can use them, however there is still a large lack of skills in this country in the area of ICT, and this has a negative affect on the developement of the countries ICT.

the wrong side of the divide

these are all less economically developed countries (LEDC's) this means that they have less money and technology than more economically developed countries (MEDC's) like Britain and America. this fact means that the countries are in a state of poverty, which in turn means that many of the people in these countries cannot afford any sort of technology, or even the power to run an electrical peice, like a computer. these countries geographical position could be the feason for there economic toil, as they have little natural resource, and for this reason they needed to borrow money from the rest of the world, and they are now in huge debt, and cannot pay it off, this makes them more poor, and less able to become developed, and less likely to be able to buy and use technology.

internet and email use

there are advantages to content monitoring, as you can monitor if people are doing what they are supposed to be doing in the work place, and this stops people from deriving from there work, and doing something else. there are also some dissadvantages of doing this, such as the fact that this canmake work feel to repressed and uncomfortuble, which could also have a negative affect on the work rate of employees. this system should be used, but not in every day curcumstances, just for an anual inspection of the amount of non work related activity that goes on within the company, this can be carried out seceratively.

ID cards

there are some pros of having ID cards imployed in every day life, like the fact that it will minimise the risk of people having there identity stolen, and people cannot lie about certain thing such as age. there are also some cons with having the U.K use ID cards, such as the fact that if they are lost they can be used by another person, and the fact that this could make people feel like they are under servalence all of the time, and could cause discomfort in the population. the cards however do fulfill there purpose, as they do show whos who in the population and does provide proof of identity to the public, and also can help to secretise information, so that only authorised people can access it.

information overload

spreadsheets: these can organise thought, and display it in a table which can help work out sums, and do hard calculations for you with a simple code, this is helpfull as it canmake things easier to understand and to work out.
data mining tools: this can speed up the information extracting process, and make it quicker for businesses, and other people to get what they need out of the information in question.
simulation software:It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. this allows you to put things into action quickly and easily, which could help you understand them.
exception reporting tools: (dont realy know to be honest)

granny phones

assuming that she is not good with technology and therefotre she just wants a phone which can make calls, and possibly texts, she will not want a top of the range phone with music player, radio, and internet on it, and she might not even want a camera. assuming this i would reccomend a new, but cheap and basic phone, as it will be simpler to use, and probably better for her. for this purpose i am recommending a nokia classic, as it is new, and has a lot of features such as music player, however that part of the phone is easily avoidable when making calls, and also simple to use if my gran wants to learn how to play music.

information

the information on these sites are outrageously false, and anyone who reads them con probably tell this, however there are things other than this which you can tell from that the site is a hoax, such as the fact that most hoax sites will have a disclaimer at the bottom of the page, and this tell you that the site is a hoax, or that the the information on the site is false. you can usually tell if a site has valid information on it, as it will usually make sense, and usually will seem to be right if you look at it with common sense. also the site is usually more proffesional if the site is valid, rather than it looking like it has just been made by a school child.

business communication

there are many types of communication within a business, tere are technological types and general types. the technological types include using conferance call, e-mail, and phone calls as well as others. these types of communication are helpfull as they allow you to communicate quickly with people who arent necceserily anywhere neer you geographcally, this type of communication is essential in a successfull business. there are also types of general communication in a business, such as face to face communication, this is also an essential form of communication for a business, as without this people will not feel that they are a part of a team in the business, and may become un motivated.

communication

i use many different forms of communication in my everyday life, there are many different types of technology i use to communicate with people. one of these things is this blog whic i use to display information to the public and my ICT teacher (hello sir), also i use my mobile phone to call and text friends, as well as email and MSN messenger to talk to friends, and store informaition that i need to do homework. also i use a lot of non technical communication, much of this is face to face communication in my classes. all of the communication methods i use in my dat to day life are effective, and fulfill there purpose of providinga service of communication between people.

mobile phones

i use my mobile phone to talk to friends via call and text, to listen to music, to take picture and make videos, i use it at school to listen to music, and everywere to call and text people. it is easy to use a mobile, and it can be used almost anywere, there are many benifits of using a mobile phone, such as the flexibility of the areas you can use it in, and the fact that you can text as well if you just need to give someone a small peice of information its easy. there are some dissadvantages of using a mobile phone, like the fact that pay as you go minutes are expensive, and if you exceed your minutes on a contract, it can get expensive, also the fact that you can sometimes loose signal on your phone gets annoying if you are talking to someone and you get cut off. my mobile phone does fulfill its purpose as it does alolw me to make texts and phone calls from almost anywere, and it is a convenient service.

email

i use emil for everyday communication with friends, as wel as to send my work from school to my home, in order to complete it. i use email at school and at home, and it makes talking to friends and completing work much easier, as i can do it all over the computer. there are some dissadvantages with using this as a source of communication, such as the fact that people i am talking to cant tell when i am joking or being sarcastic, as there is no body language involved, and no vocal communication involved. email as explained helps me to complete school work at home, and this makes me more productive, it does however not help my productivity when i am talking to friens, as i get distracted from doing any work. i think email does fulfill its purpose, as it provides a source of communication that is quick and easy to use.

information vs communication

the new age is bringing different ways of communication via text and email. these are writen forms of quick communication, and some things can be lost when using them, such as the personal element, where if you are face to face with someone you can distinguish certain feelings about a subject in there body language, you dont get this with emails and texts, as you cant tell anything ther than the words on the page. although these methods are quick and easy, sometimes you are better off haveing an actual conversation with someone.

downloads

limewire- this is a program which allows you to download files under the categories of videos, images, audio, and files, this is good because you can find almost anything onthe site by typing in the key words of the file you are looking for. however there are some downsides like the fact that sometime a file has the name you are looking for but it is not the file you want, and also some searches bring up some of the wrong files, and you have to destinguish between the files you want and the files you dont.
bitcomet- this program allows you to download torrents from sites such as mininova.co.uk, this is good because you can not only get the usual files such as videos, films, and songs, but you can also get software for your computer. there are however downsides to this program as you cant always trust the software files that you download, as some of them can carry vitruses.
fruity loops- this is a prodram which allows you to make music, however the version that i downloaded carried a trogeon virus, therefore it had to be destroyed before the virus corrupted our computer, many of the free versions of this program carry viruses.

learning object

cannot do this peice at the moment because the page isnt working, will post it soon

macromedia e-learning

this is an effective way of learning because it is not just reading a book or answering questions, it brings a whole new dimension to learning, as the online learning can do much more than normal books and questions. it can give you verbal questions in an interactive way, and use images and videos, as well as sound and animations to make a point, or illustrate a question, or even give examples of something related to a question or piece of text. also you can have links to different pages, which can help you to understand something complex better, or lionks to different parts of a text to show something, such as a point that explains the future part of the text, or to show important tecniques such as foreshadowing. this however does have some disadvantages, such as the fact that the links back to other pages could make the site become confusing, or hard to find you way back from links, and the fact that the animations, and videos and other things may make it hard to focus on the task, also the fact that the technology is so good may distract the learner from the task, and effect his or her learning negatively.

net frog

the net frog site is a site where you can practice disecting a digital frog, or use it instead of disecting a real frog,this is a good site, as if you use it to practice it improves your chances of getting it right on a real frog, and for people who do not like this sort of thing, they can use the site instead of a real frog. however the site does have downfalls, such as the fact that it will be different when you do it on a real frog, which defeats the object of the site.

making the modern world

the site making the modern world is a very informaitve site, and is to a high level of design. however it is difficult to find where something is, because the design is so complex, and this makes it a worse site than it would be if it had a simpler design, although it looks better with this design. the learning modules page is easy to find http://www.makingthemodernworld.org.uk/learning_modules/, however once you go to the stories timeline link, it becomes harder to find your way to the page you want http://www.makingthemodernworld.org.uk/stories/. the site does fulfil the perpose for which it was intended, as it does provide a wide range of informaition which can help students with learning, and if they nead to find a specific peice of information, however the fact that it is hard to move around the site makes it a less popular, as it is harder to use than other sites.

eBay

eBay is a website, which allows people to interact with each other via buying and selling products. you can buy and sell almost anything on the site, other than consumable products.
eBay itself does not sell products, its customers do, this is good because it is not just a simple secondary to tertiery transaction. also it is a different way of buying products, because it is not only on the internet, it is also based around bid system, where the people buying have to bid for the product they want, and make sure that you are the highest bidder when the time ends. this was a new concept when eBay first came out, and now it is an established website, people use it more than the other website that do this.
eBay is set up so that you can search for anything on the site by typing in the keywords in the search bar o the homepage- http://www.ebay.co.uk try it out. this is a good way of doing it because you dont have to sign in or register to see if a product is on the site, or to get the price of a product.
when you sign in you get a view of all the thing you are buying and selling on the site, and the things that you are whatching, as well as all the details for these products, such as price. this is good because you can go to these products via the links in this information.

the train from fareham train station to london waterloo will take 1 hour and 45 minutes, this added to the rough amount of time travelling to and from the train, the journey would take approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. if the i took the direct root going by car streight fom point a to point b tbhen it would take about the same amount of time, but depending on traffic, i there is more traffic it will take longer, but of there is a clear road it will take less time.

tsunami

the 2004 tsunami was anticipated before it struck, however the digital divide made it hard to get the message out to the people it was going to effect, this was because many people in the countries that were affected did not have a computer, nor any access to any digital or information technology, as the countries are poor. this made it hard for the people who were anticipating the tsunami to get the warning to these countries in time. after the tsunami many websites were set up in order to raise money for the country, as well as the money that the govenment would give them, in the end there was more money given that was raised over the internet, than the governments themselves gave the country. this was quite a feat.

communication

texts are quick and easy to use, but can cost money and u can only send a cretain amount of text, emails can only be recieved if you are on the computer, but they can fit lots of text, and instant messages are rouphly the same apart from you can have a full conversation with someone, and it is quick.
