ICT in the community
ICT in the community I live in the community of Maidenhead in the south-east of England. ICT is used everyday and without it the community would start to break down and the way of life would run much slower. Cyber cafes The cyber café in Maidenhead is perfect for tourists that take digital photos and want to send them to family and friends, also if a tourist wants to contact family and friends it is probably cheaper to email them from a cyber café that having to use the phone to call another country although using the phone is quicker than email. Also people from within the community can use cyber cafés to do just about anything they would need to on a computer. They can read emails, send emails, browse the web and create documents. Some cyber cafés also offer scanners, printers and photocopiers although the cyber café in Maidenhead only offers a black and white printer. The down side with using a cyber café is the price; to use the facilities in Maidenhead it costs £5.00 per hour. Websites and Forums The Maidenhead Rugby Club has there own website which keeps fans up to date with the team and how things are going, this also gives contact details to get hold of people such as the manager and coach, so now they don't have to put adverts or news in the maidenhead advertiser which not only costs but it only gets publish weekly so information could be old or

Symposium on Media and Piracy.
26/04/2010 Symposium on Media This symposium addresses the Media’s responsibility in terms of changing its targeted audience’s attitude. It also discusses the issue of piracy, which is considered to be one of the widespread and dangerous concerns as a result of new technologies. The symposium focuses primarily on whether the liability lies on the government or the individuals, in order to prevent such hackers from illegal downloads or accesses that might threat our privacy, especially on face book websites. To commence, Feebe discussed that the selectivity of the representations form human values. Media affects public opinion due to the selected representations that is monitored by the government. To illustrate, Media determines what politics believe to be important issues by paying attention to some problems and ignoring or paying minimal attention to others, especially if we accept a constructionist approach where media representations help to construct our understanding of the world. Moreover, the selectivity of the representations might be unjustified, where audience cannot get access to the truth. The second presenter, Sophie, reported on the role of technology for piracy actions. She addressed the main challenges and concerns about who is responsible to be sentenced under the term of piracy. Should it be the up loaders or the downloaders or both? Is there a
The potential of e-commerce
E-commerce Britain is turning into a dot.com nation. By 2001 over 10 million homes had access to the Internet compared with 6 million the year before. Also, many people access the Internet through cyber cafés and schools, colleges and universities. In recent years, more and more people (specifically the young) have turned to e commerce. Retailers simply cannot afford to ignore these developments. However, not all retailers are equally well placed to take advantage of this changing environment for trade. Recent events have demonstrated that selling via the Internet is not a guaranteed success for all companies. Some Internet ventures have collapsed even though billions of pounds were spent on trying to build the brands. These examples include: * Boo.com, an on-line fashion and sports clothes retailer, which failed despite having £12million ploughed into creating awareness of it. * Webvan, which soaked up £700 million in an attempt to create a large-scale retailing chain in the USA. Webvan had to file for bankruptcy. Other companies are 'hanging in there', but have yet to make a profit. They struggle largely because they required an existing brand presence and needed to create one. Doing so is a long and expensive drag. The potential of e commerce E-commerce is seen as a major area of development over the next few years and virtually every well-known retailer is
Which sources of knowledge - books, web sites, the media, personal experience, authorities or some other - do you consider most trustworthy, and why?
TOK essay, November 2002 and May 2003 0. Which sources of knowledge - books, web sites, the media, personal experience, authorities or some other - do you consider most trustworthy, and why? The human desire for knowledge has existed since the beginning of civilization and will presumably be a part of us forever. This is due to the fact that knowledge was and still is, considered to be directly related to intelligence. Therefore mankind's progress and development can be considered to be directly related to knowledge. However, through the establishment of new sources of knowledge, knowledge has become subject to corruption and bias, which especially in the 20th and 21st century questions/ed their credibility. In this essay I will attempt to discuss each of the given sources of knowledge in the above title in terms of their credibility. Books are probably one of the oldest sources of knowledge; almost every early form of civilization possessed some form of written language, which was passed on through generations. However this does not mean that books are a perfectly trustworthy source. Today many factors must be taken into account when questioning the credibility of a book. Time and the government body present while the book was published certainly play a crucial role. A corrupt government, such as Hitler's dictatorship during the Second World War, only authorized the
Which sources of knowledge- books, web sites, the media, personal experience, authorities or some other- do you consider most trustworthy, and why?
Which sources of knowledge- books, web sites, the media, personal experience, authorities or some other- do you consider most trustworthy, and why? In this essay I will be looking at the statement above in relation to the problems of knowledge, using where appropriate my experiences as a knower1. To ascertain which source of knowledge one can claim to be the most trustworthy one would have to define them all first. The proposed sources are: books, websites, media, personal experience and authorities. After I have defined each source of knowledge, I will be looking at the reliability of each source, helping justifying my findings with the help of the problems of knowledge we have identified in class. Truth plays a large role in considering which source of knowledge is the most trustworthy. With truth there are many problems involved, for something to be true it has to be believe to be true and there have to bee good grounds for it to be believed to be true. This links to perception, truth I think largely depends on the way one perceives it to be reliable. . When talking about books one can already distinguish between the fiction and non fiction books. Fiction is usually defined as fantasy and non real yet sometimes the author of the book makes it seem like non-fiction. This makes it sometimes hard for the reader to say if it is fiction or not. Due to the fact that fiction is
