I.C.T has improved and helped in many ways. In the home and use at work. There have been many advances in communications technology such as the internet. I.C.T has also had an impact on Teleworking, shopping, organisational structure, at home, education and medicine. There are also some drawbacks which we will discuss later such as fraud on the internet, porn and other things.

Teleworking:

I.C.T has introduced Teleworking; Teleworking is when a member of organisation arranges to work at home rather than in the work place. This arrangement has become increasingly, achievable through the use of computers, the availability of the internet. Internet links and advance in communication technology- e.g. fax machines, e-mail, video conferencing etc. advantages are less pollution is caused because less people will have to use transport to go to work; less money will be wasted on childminders and transport money. No pressure of your boss looking over your shoulder, and more comfort and greater productivity which will lead to good work, good pay or even a promotion via e-mail of course. However there are disadvantage for example social isolation, there may be distractions like children like the picture above. It may also cost a lot to set up.

Shopping:

I.C.T has had an impact on shopping too. For example customers can shop from home using the internet to connect to the supermarkets shopping site. As they connect, the latest products, offers, promotions and prices are downloaded to the customer’s computer. After choosing browse through the different categories of goods available and place items in the virtual “trolley”. These are then delivered form the store.

On line shopping is now very fast growing. The advantages of shopping on the net are you get delivery to your door step, no hassle for the customer to travel out of the house and back with lots of baggage. Easy pay by typing in your account number. It is also a quick and effective way for the elderly people in our society to use too, they won’t have to walk outside if they are poorly they can just log on to the net and choose what they want, they might have trouble using a computer but it’ll be alright. ...
