Personal Communication

Friends and Families

The positive effects are that friends and families can contact their friends on a mobile or send texts. If they have an access to the internet they can stay in touch with msn chat. If they have a web cam they will be able to see you over the internet if they can’t come over.

“Mobile phones keep you in touch with your friends and families”.

The negative effects are that the families and friends might not have a mobile or if they do they might get ear radiation through the mobile. They might not have access to the internet or if they do have access to the internet they might not have access to msn chat. They might not know how to download it. They might not have a web cam so they will not be able to see you.

The two needs which are use of ICT for the families are that they need to be in touch                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             with their family they need to spend very little on phone calls. They need to be able to communicate cheaply.

The two benefits of using ICT are that families can stay in touch with each other if they can’t come over and it’s quick and easy.

If the families and friends have no connection to any sort of ICT then the consequences they might face are that they will feel isolated and lonely. They will miss out on talking to their family. They could write letters but it will take a long time.

Education & Lifelong Learning

The positive effects are that the teachers and learners can communicate from different places at different times, using the internet, mobile phones or e-mail. The internet has made it easier for the learners as they can stay up to date with research. Students can revise and take online tests. There are degrees and courses on line.

“The internet has enabled learners to access up-to-date and comprehensive research materials. These materials have enabled teachers to make their lessons more relevant to today’s educational needs.”

The negative effects are it costs money to buy the equipment. There are more phone bills. The students might be looking on irrelevant websites and wasting their time.

The two needs which are use of ICT for the students are that they need to learn and get good marks. They need to pass their courses.

The two benefits of using ICT are that the students can learn over the internet and can upload work from home to the teachers by using Ranger Outpost.

If the students have no connection to any sort of ICT then the consequences they might face are that they will feel that they won’t get good marks on their work. They might not be able to pass their exams. They will have to hand written their work and not get good mark as they would if they had ICT.

International Business Workers

The positive effects are that the workers can find information about work. If they have a problem with their work they can contact their trade union over the internet. They can check their work over the internet by showing it to their colleagues or the manager.

“International boundaries are ignored, as businesses are able to transfer information on a global scale. Employees can access intranet sites to keep abreast of company activity; the public can find information about companies without expensive postal searches or visiting in person.”

The negative effects are that some versions of ICT are quite expensive. The internet may not always be available. Computers bring viruses. The laptop battery might go flat.

The two needs which are use of ICT for the workers are that they need it to research information and contact people.

The two benefits of using ICT are that the workers can show their work over the internet to their colleagues or manager and they can make designs using the web.

They can have conference meetings over the internet and they can use their mobiles to contact their colleagues all over the world.

 If the workers have no connection to any sort of ICT then the consequences they might face are that they will not be able to make good designs and will not be able to show their work from home.

Entertainment and Leisure

The positive effects are that children and teenagers can watch films from home. Digital broadcasting can allow viewers to choose their own camera angles or soundtracks. Sky + allows you to pause, rewind, forward and stop what ever your watching so you don’t need a video recorder.

“DVD and other storage devices can enable production organisations to include ‘extras’ with films and music-games, interviews, still images and music sound tracks.”

The negative effects are that the equipment can be quite expensive. People wasting too much time, they become addicted.

 

The two needs which are use of ICT for the people are that they need to have access to high quality storage formats like DVD’s which can be stored easily and some people need to have fun.

The two benefits of using ICT are that people can watch the latest film on their DVD players and they can play games with other people from different countries.
