Describe major barriers to and the incentives for the development of ecommerce. The advantage that e-commerce will provide is speed. The Internet and the World Wide Web gives opportunities to exchange messages. Even with the slowest connections, doing business electronically is much faster than traditional modes. With the increased speeds of communication, the delivery time is minimized. Also any product can be found for sale on the Internet. Information appearing on the Internet can be changed rapidly. This gives company the ability to inform customers of any changes to the service that they are offering. This also allows for them to update marketing and promotional materials. Savings the second advantage of electronic commerce many company offer to save on costs. By using the Internet, marketing, phone, postage and printing costs, can be reduced. Disadvantages of E - Commerce Privacy and Security is a main source of trouble is customer concerns with privacy and security. Anything sent over the Internet is sent through several different computers before it reaches its destination. Hackers can steal credit card or checking account data as it is transferred into computers that hold the same information. Security on the Internet is much like security for a home. There is a point when the effort outweighs the advantages. As with a home the owner will usually stop adding

Nokia - In today's communication industry, the growth of the Internet has established a Universal medium for access to all types of information.
3.6h Nokia In today's communication industry, the growth of the Internet has established a Universal medium for access to all types of information. Nokia uses many ways of communicating, the use of mainly technology to contact many departments of the company. This is done mainly via the new technology of video conferencing. No matter where you are you can have a face-to-face meeting via a computer and a modem and a video camera. Allowing you to see each other over a computer screen. As Nokia is situated around the world with different headquarters for each functional department. For communicating, reporting information to one another the use of the Internet and telecommunication enables better communication channels. For communication to take place via e-mail within a department, employees have meetings with their superior or senior managers. From here senior managers have meetings with their superior, until all information has been reported to Administration and to staff who have access to all. The use of data capability provides the means to deliver the enriched content that drives development of new services. The uses of telecommunication networks are therefore undergoing fundamental changes: they are converting from circuit switched to packet switched IP connectivity and from single purpose networks facilitating mainly voice transmissions to multi- service networks
ICT & Myself
ICT & Myself Introduction My name is Peter Sutton; I am a student at King Williams College, Isle of Man. I use ICT all the time; I am woken by a digital alarm clock, my food is cooked in a digital controlled oven and I am driven to school in a computer assisted car. I also use ICT in less mundane tasks, for example recording, mixing and mastering my own music and then make it available to the globe community on my own website (www.theprosthetics.net). On the coming pages we will see how I use ICT for social, personal and work purposes at home and school. Personal at Home - The Internet The Internet is a global collection of interconnected computers, both personal and servers, using the TCP/IP protocol (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol). The Internet started in 1969 as four host computers. Increasing rapidly over the past 35 years the Internet has grown to tens of millions of systems worldwide. The Internet is a collection of networks, some larger and more important than others, thus we get the Internet hierarchy; this is best shown in a graphical form (see right/above). At the bottom of the hierarchy, the personal computer uses a phone line (Digital or Analogue) to "dial-up" and connect to a POP. A POP is a Point of Presence, owned by large communication/Internet Services Provider companies (For example BT or Wanadoo, ISP for short); they create backbone
International segmentation and positioning.
International segmentation and positioning Types of products on the Internet Products sold on the Internet fall into two categories: Physical products Businesses such as Amazon.com and Ebay.com take advantage of selling physical products by using the Internet as an interaction with an immense network community. Digital goods and services This includes information goods and services such as financial information, reference and learning material, entertainment and multi media services and distributed database services etc... In addition innovative digital products also include on- line gaming, chat rooms and search engines etc... Different strategies are used to price and market the goods, as the above products are easy to copy, yet difficult to value. Strategies include: customisation and bundling, bundling valuable content along with advertising to provide 'free' goods, which introduces different versions of the same product to suit different users, charging subscriptions and also crucially use market mechanisms to assist the setting of prices. The Internet is a means of global communication, using the global (cluster) generic approach. Market similarities are identified and serviced as though national boundaries do not exist. There is no national segmentation or positioning. Segmenting at the macro level includes: * Geographic location grouping, based on
'Save the teenagers from the evil inventions' - essay on the social impact of computing
"Hi! What did you do last night?" "Oh I talked to someone whom I've never met before. He's so cool I've got to meet him!" "Wow!" This might not make sense to you but it is a conversation you might hear in a teenage community. It is a lot different from those days when everyone used to read books, and a terrible problem has been recognised due to the adult's ignorance. The fast developing computing systems have enabled us to carry out many tasks - easier research, word processing, shopping from home... etc., and amongst them is 'easier communication'. For older generations, it probably means an easier way to keep in touch with their old friends or as a mean of exchanging information and ideas. This was probably the main intentions of ISOC (Internet Society), the current internet director. Despite this, by the age of about 15, most children are so sophisticated in their internet use and that they are curious and adventurous, anxious to be independent and sometimes rebellious. For these reasons, many people, especially the teenagers, are using 'chat rooms' on the internet - where they can talk to people they don't know online. It is now the third most popular way of using the web. The advantage is that the person you are talking to doesn't know who you are. Many people who are less confident in speaking in front of the others find that it is easier to start building their
Network NAB 4.
Network NAB 4 Peer to peer, or P2P computing has become a huge craze in the new millennium. The technology lets individuals directly chat, exchange files, and share computer power and storage space. It has changed profoundly the way people use computers. Today, current Internet users require a basic functions and software to gain access to the Internet. They simply have to connect to their ISP (Internet Service Provider), who give them a temporary IP address. ISPs also provide additional services, which we take for granted, such as pulling in your e-mail. If you were to have your own personal IP address then such facilities, as these would not be provided for you. Just witness the Napster phenomenon. With so many people sharing music files it was no wonder companies fear copy write fraud. Napster shows us the next generation of the Internet, using the technology in a different way. The software application was freely available over the Internet. It used simple technology to share music files (MP3's). With each user having a unique name, each individual can down load files from each other, and in turn people can upload from them. This distribution of files serves to bring the music community closer together. During download there is a direct point to point access between clients, witch of course is a security issue as the IP addresses of the registered computer is
