REPORT ON THE IMPACT OF THE USE OF PERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANTS (PDAS)
Introduction
In this report I will be analysing the continuing development of PDAs and how they can be used as a tool for communication in MOJO DJ business.
PDA stands for PERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANT which a handheld computer is also known as palmtop computers. This helps keep people keep themselves in touch by, sending and receiving emails.
Procedure
To find my information for this report I will be using internet to research about PDAs, I will be also visiting library to collect all the information on PDAs.
The use of PDAs as method of communication
By using a PDA as a communication method it helps you ensure that the business is running successfully even when you are not available in the office.
PDAs have GPRS connection which is form of a wireless internet which allows the user to access internet from anywhere. It enables the user to receive and send email’s for the business.
Wi-Fi is the trade name for the popular wireless technology used in home networks, mobile phones, video games and other electronic devices that require some form of wireless networking capability.
The purpose of Wi-Fi is to provide wireless access to digital content. This content may include applications, audio and visual media, Internet connectivity, or other data. Wi-Fi generally makes access to information easier, as it can eliminate some of the physical restraints of wiring; this can be especially for mobile devices and also for PDAs.
Some PDAs have a Bluetooth connection. Which allows the user to transfer stuff from computer or any other device which has a access to Bluetooth.
Cables are another method of transferring file and other stuff from computer to PDA. It’s a very cheap method and also the user has to connect the cable to computer whenever the user wants to transfer the stuff.
How PDAs can be used to store and access information
PDAs are mostly purchased by people who own their own business. One of the main reasons they buy PDA is because it allows them to stay in touch with each other and store important information.
PDAs have calendar available which allows the owner to store times and dates to remind them in case they forget about it.
Calculator is another tool which is mostly in PDA which helps the owner with its calculations and it also saves time.
PDA also have daily planner which helps the owner to plan their day.
Useful information, reports also can be stores in PDAs which allows the user to access them anywhere using PDA.
One of main reason people use PDA because it has address database, which allows the user to save its personal or business address and all information which the user can use it anytime anywhere.
The impact of PDAs on the MOJO DJ business and society
PDAs are also very useful for MOJO DJ business. It helps the MOJO DJ worker to communicate with each other. They will also be able to send music to each other using multimedia. It helps MOJO DJ workers alert of any meeting which is going to be due soon. By using PDA it will allow them to work at home or whilst travelling to work. All the tools which PDA has built in are very useful for MOJO business e-g,
Contact- helps save contact details etc.
Calendar- easy to store dates
Daily planner- helps plan event dates and name of places where event will be hosting.
PDAs are very useful for MOJO DJ business because it will save a lot of time. E-g while travelling it is easy to use a portable which you can also carry in your pockets.
Conclusion
PDAs have different stuff built in which is very useful for a business man or people generally to have. It allows people to stay in touch from anywhere and also allows the user to browse internet.
After studying all the useful things about PDAs I recommend that MOJO DJ business should purchase PDA because it will help you in daily life and also will make your life easy.
