How ICT has affected my life at home or school
How ICT has affected my life at home or school In this task I will give details about how ICT has affected my school and social life. I will include my use of software like Microsoft word, internet, email and Lime wire. These programs have helped me on my class work and homework and they have also helped me keep in touch with my family and friends and also have improved my social life. There are many other uses of ICT like USB Flash Drives, mp3 players, and DVD's. My Social Use Microsoft Word Processor ICT has helped me in so many ways to make my social life easy. To improve my letter writing I use Microsoft word processor which is software that enables people to input a piece of writing. This software has assisted me to improve my home work with the help of different tools. I get pleasure from typing up work as it is a lot easier and neater than writing with a pen. If I wish to add a different piece of work then I can do so without hesitation just by copy and pasting. If I make a mistake then the computer will automatically underline my mistake and will give me the choice of correcting it. Although at times the computer will not recognise a few words. Microsoft word processor allows me to align my work for example if I am writing a poem then I can centre align, if I'm writing a letter then I can right align. As well as writing I can also add pictures to my work by using
Comparing documents
Comparing Documents My second task is to compare a few different documents of three different organisations, the three organisations are: . JJ PC 2. Wessex Water 3. Coffee Control JJPC sells computers, Wessex Water is a water company and Coffee Control is and internet café. I have to annotate the three documents, describe the content and layout, comment on the differences, similarities and finally come to a conclusion of each document. The documents that I will be comparing are: * Questionnaires * Newsletter * Memo * Invoice * Business Letter * Poster My first document that I will be analyzing will be the three questionnaires. Comparing Questionnaires A questionnaire is a form containing a set of questions. JJPC's logo has been placed in the top right hand corner and it is orange, their logo is just simple and bulky, in my opinion I think that this is great because the audience will be able to see it as it should be seen. Coffee control have two logos one on each side but it is very small, their logo has a picture of a mug in it, which is black and gives the customer an idea of what the questionnaire is about. The colour of coffee controls logo is turquoise and white. Wessex water has only one logo which is in the middle and at the top of the page it is in blue but it isn't that clear because it is uncertain. Personally, I think JJPC's logo is the most
If the IT industry is such a big business why do so many dot-coms fail?
Retesh Veja If the IT industry is such a big business why do so many dot-coms fail? You can do almost any thing on the Internet; shop, bank, search for information, chat to other people and more. So there is a big business out there to make big cash! Why do so many businesses try out on the web? Large number of internet users The number of people using the web is increasing each day because it's quicker and easier to do everyday tasks. So businesses think a lot more people are going to pass their sites on the web than there shop window. Cheaper It's cheaper to set a web page than a shop because of the rents, the electric and heating bills, furniture and you would need fewer employees. More efficient You could down load your orders on a database each day and send it off to a supplier and they can deliver direct this way you don't have to stock lots of products and there would be no wastage. 95 percent of dot-com businesses fail. So what is the cause of so many failures? These five factors cover the main reasons. . The Wrong Marketing Mindset Letting your customers know that you exist is very important because people don't walk in and out a web page like they do in a shop. You need a good name so everyone will remember it. Marketing an on line business is not as easy as putting signs in the local paper and the Yellow Pages or handing out flyers and waiting for
Social and Moral Implications of ICT
Social, moral and cultural implications of ICT The increase in development of ICT has had large impact on the society that we live in. Each new development in information technology raises new social, economic, ethical and moral issues. Worldwide developments in communication technology via mobile, satellite, wireless and cable will continue to enhance Internet access and change many aspects of our lives. For example, advancements in technology have made huge changes in the way shops are run. Most large shops now have Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) terminals, which are cash registers that also act as terminals to a main computer system and till receipts are produced. Bar codes on a product are scanned to record the sale, identify the item being sold and can automatically update the shop's stock list. Electronic Funds Transfer at Point of Sale (EFTPOS) are similar to EPOS and allow transfers of funds directly from a customers bank account to the shops' bank account when a credit or debit card is used by the customer. This technology acts as a simpler way of transferring funds and prevents errors in calculating stock and payments. There is less chance of theft because no cash is used and it is more secure for transferring large amounts of money. Online shopping has also changed the way many people buy and sell products, allowing customers to shop at the convenience of
Developing a Business
Ownership The type of ownership for the business will be a partnership. This is the most obvious choice as there are two people involved, my business partner and me. A partnership can involve between two and twenty partners allowing for further expansion and more financial backing if needed. The partnership would be owned in a ratio of 60:40, me owning 60%. This means we would share the cash input and profits and losses in this ratio, which is bad in the short-term for me, but hopefully good in the long-term. A partnership brings additional expertise from all the partners. A formal partnership agreement would have to be drawn up to settle any disputes. The problems with a partnership are that there is unlimited liability meaning that it is possible to lose personal possessions e.g. car and house, and that there is limited cash input. Cash would only be available internally and with loans. The alternative was a private limited company (ltd.) which would have a larger financial backing and limited liability to the value of shareholding, but in the long-term there is less profit and less control when shareholders come in to the plan as well as high set-up costs.Limited companies also have to pay more tax. Name The name for the business that I have decided on is?????? this conveys the message that the company operates in the UK an could also be in europeain countries Aims
ICT CMS
Coursework (CMS) Background: I am Adel Gazarin an I.C.T business consultant hired by Mr. Amr Gazarin, the manager of a local school canteen called A.G cafe to design and create a sales system which will be used by the canteen staff. A.G cafe's is located in a corner in the schools AstroTurf, the orders are made from a small window where student line up in front of every break time. The cues are usually long as there is one window which many students order from. Problem Definition: The manager of A.G cafe is having a problem with the existing system because they are currently using a manual method to record their sales, this is very time consuming and it also makes calculating profits gained more difficult and many errors are made using this manual method. The canteen has many meals which are regularly produced but are not popular in the market and they also have products which are very popular in the market but the canteen has a shortage in this product such as the chicken parmesan in A.G cafe. The product I will design and produce will not only help my end-user calculate the profit gained throughout the year. The product will also help, record stocks and provide invoices to customers. I am planning to design a "sales system" product. Alternatives: I have three alternatives to create the 'sales system' the first alternative, I could design a spread sheet with macros
Remote Network Administration for the
Jason Rusk IS300 Term Paper Remote Network Administration for the Home and Small Office User Remote network administration is a fast growing and widely used technology in the IT field today. It gives system and network administrators as well as home users the ability to fix problems, allow or deny access to websites, download information directly from another computer, and give program permissions for different users from the office that they are at or from anywhere in the world that has an internet connection. With this very powerful technology, come some very significant problems such as securing remote access sessions via data encryption, the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPN's) and a vast amount of networking and connection problems that can occur. There are very useful tools and articles that have been written and programmed to help the network administrator or the savvy user that wants to connect to his computer at home. This paper will focus on network administration for small business and home users using a VPN, Remote Desktop Connection and Symantec's PC Anywhere for Microsoft Windows XP Professional. Personal experience has shown that working remotely is very difficult to set up. This tends to discourage many users from using this kind of technology because it requires a large amount of know-how and patience. A SOHO user must have at least a basic knowledge

I have searched the Internet for ideas and have come up with a few web-sites. Which have the effects, which I quite like. The effects are the format and the entrance to the web-site. I will use google to search for different school web-sites. Using a browser and book marking The browser I will be using is Microsoft Internet Explorer. The search engine I am using is google.co.uk. To start my search I searched for schools web-sites and got 664000 results so I defined my search. When I defined my search to Schools web-sites in Ni I got 5400 results and as you can see on the screen dump I clicked on one of them To bookmark a web-site I went to my favourites and clicked on add to favourites and create in the unit 7 folder. After that I clicked ok, and it brought me to the web-site so I clicked my favourites and went to AVCE, unit 7 and when I scrolled across there was my web-site saved. Table of likes and dislikes of
Networks LAN = Local Area Network.
Networks LAN = Local Area Network. When PCs close to one another in a single office or building are joined by a cable, a network is formed known as a Local Area Network (LAN). Once the computers are connected together into a LAN, many people (users) can share and use the same resources at the same time. They can share files, software, hard disks and peripherals such as a printer or CD-ROM. Users can also use the LAN to communicate with each other by e-mail. Data can be transmitted very quickly between networked computers. Advantages of Networks * Programs can be shared- software packages can be installed onto the file server and accessed by all individual workstations at the same time. This reduces cost, maintenance and makes upgrades easier. * A user can access any software from any station. * Data can be shared by all users at the same time. Many people can access or update the information held on a database at the same time. Thus information is up to date and accurate. * Users can communicate with others on the network by sending messages and sharing files. * Individual workstations do not need a printer; one high quality printer can now be shared by everyone, thus cutting costs. * Networks provide security. A user must have the correct Password and User ID in order to be able to access the information on the network. * Private areas on the network can

AS A TEENAGER WHO USES THE INTERNET YOU HAVE BEEN INVITED TO CONTRIBUTE TO AN ARTICLE 'IS THE INTERNET GOOD OR BAD FOR KDS?' IN NEXT MONTH'S 'GOOD PARENTING MAGAZINE' Are your children spending too much time online? Worried about what your children has access to on the internet? Read on to find out if it is suitable for them. I disagree with the point that the internet is bad for children as I am a user; however lets look at the 'dark' side of the internet which makes parents worried. Many parents are concerned about what their children go on, on the internet. For eg. pornography or other websites which are not suitable for children, as most of the content is for 18 years or older. One of the main and most occurring problems of the internet is that children go on pornography websites. As more young people go on pornography websites and other websites then they are more worried about their personal life with their girlfriend/boyfriend instead of schoolwork and homework. Another problem which parents are worried about is of kidnapping perverts who talk to our children on chat websites, eg. MSN etc. You never know who they are talking to a pervert and asking our children to meet them? They might be kidnapped or raped by the pervert. One of the key nuisance are viruses which come onto our computer by our children downloading illegal contents of music and videos from
