Introduction

In my assignment I am going to explain and describe the impact of that ICT has on my adults life in employment and at home. I would give detail on the way and why he uses ICT.

Background

My adult is the manager of seven Shell UK LTD sites, he manages all employee's and employer's and he has control of the finance and purchasing department as a job role in his position. He uses a number uses of ICT to communicate in order to send and receive information. For example, he uses a purchase order to order goods and services that he would like to purchase and receive an invoice giving him a list of products that was ordered, he would make sure that it is correct, once he is certain its correct and not damaged then finally he would send a check to their suppliers. These all different types of communication through-out the business.

My adult at home uses a number uses of ICT such as, computer to print out his daily received invoices and also to check his accounts. Internet to get information on updates and changes about the business organisations and also personally he uses e-mailing to send out to relatives friends and etc.

I am going describe how ICT is used in home/work personal and home/work social.

Home/Personal

Computer

My adult uses a computer at home for many reasons such as a computer would enable jobs to be done at much greater speeds and allow for home working. My adult with a child could work from a remote location which would be her home and be able to do her normal job and then be able to access any information she needs to do it form the works computers via the internet. My adult uses the internet to search for a variety of different things such as online shopping, buying cars and etc. My adult shareholders are kept up to date with GAP by a number of communication methods. Company reports and documentation are sent by post and notified of any meetings taking place, which involves their presence. But ICT allows the shareholders and investors all the news they want to know about the share price, meetings and companies progress, by logging onto GAP corporate website. Which allows them to look up any thing they want to know about the company. It also shows them the financial information, sales records, and directors reports. This is a much quicker way of finding out the information than by posting the information. But the problem might be that the shareholders could have faults on their computers, might not be logged on to the Internet or they might not have a computer to check up the information. But they are kept updated by the most frequently used form of external verbal communication, which is the telephone or mobile phones. They are contacted by this communication nearly everyday by the directors or managers. The shareholders also can be in direct contact with the directors or managers by the use of e-mail. They have all the e-mail addresses of the directors or managers to find out more detailed information.

GAP uses Electronic Mail the most frequent way of communicating with their suppliers.

My adult also uses the Internet at work for research and to look at the government website to look for information on update on legislations laws, all have their own user areas, with a unique user name and password so no unauthorised users can go into the staff's user areas. My adult also uses the Intranet to look at staff information and policies. Because Shell UK LTD purchases a lot of software, they need to keep up to date with the Software Copyright Laws
