Digital Security Within the Workplace
Digital security within the workplace If you don't want anyone to hack into your computer you are better off being protected by adding a password to protect your files. Files can easily be accessed by anyone and this could lead to your files getting deleted, important files can get hacked into and may result in you not accessing them again. Security is really important this doesn't matter were it could be at home or work, your computer or laptop should always be protected. Data misuse and unauthorised transfer or copying Data misuse falls into the category of accessing someone else's computer System with intentions to commit an offence such as stealing data, without their permission. Unauthorized copying occurs when the exclusive right to reproduce protected work is violated, which is generally when a copy is made from a protected file of work without the copyright owner's permission. The computer Misuse Act doesn't allow somebody else to access a computer by using someone else's identification. Other things include changing, copying, deleting or moving a programme. You cannot also run a program or obtain any data even though it's not for personal gain. Hacking to someone else's account through their password is also listed in the Computer Misuse Act. To avoid such circumstances you can password protect your files and folders so the only person who has access to them
Life in the information age
Life in the information age COMMUNICATION Communication is a key part of life and it affects the way we as humans live. We talk to each other and make signs and signals as part of natural every-day life. Without communication, human life would be reduced to a quality not much better than animals. Therefore the development of communication is always going to be a positive impact on human life and interaction. ICT has affected communication in an incredible way. It has enhanced speech and written communication, whilst introducing other methods. I will investigate the difference ICT has made to communication, below. Prior to the introduction of technology, communication existed as speech, and the writing of letters. Firstly, with the introduction of the telephone, communication became long-distance with the ability to converse with people far away. In the 20th century new inventions helped to increase they way we communicate, but none more catalytic than the invention of the computer system. Different ways of communication using today's computer, include: Being able to word-process and print documents them instead of handwriting saves people's time and effort. Also the printed copy is usually of a higher quality and standard than handwritten versions. Computers in a network can communicate with each other effectively, setting up bulletin boards and internal forums for

Opeyemi Ore GCSE Coursework ICT To: Mrs Callaghan From: Opeyemi Ore Date: Subject: Business and Communications Systems Coursework Form: 11A Section 1: (Terms of Reference) Introduction and the purpose of communication Business and Communications is everywhere! It is an influential and important part of our lives. I will be investigating about two styles of communication; one is the internal communication system within my school, which operates between my staff; the second one is how external communication methods are used in my work experience placement. The purpose of communication varies a great deal and there are many ways of communicating. I am going to explain the concepts or purpose of communication and the different categories of communication: * Giving out information to inform employees of future meeting or to notify a member of staff that a mishap has arose. * To inform customers of updates to any products or new services. * To collect information - such as personal details for personnel records, market research, data, etc. on sales products... * To clear up problems or misunderstandings in the business organisation. * To keep the business organisation operating effectively and smoothly. * To convey the organisation in a positive and public way by eliminating errors, managing problems efficiently and having a clear, trouble-free two-way communicating
GNVQ ICT: unit 7 presenting information multimedia individual work
The purpose of my presentation is about making the younger audience aware of 'THE TRAP OF DRUGS'. This presentation is mainly for young people around 13 years old and over, though many adults will certainly learn a thing or two. The young people will be interested in it because it provides really reliable information what a drug is, why people take drugs, the pressures concerned, the effect on others, the legal matters, the laws and what happens when you break the law. Especially what drugs do to your body and brain, and how to help yourself by taking precautions before doing drugs and whom to contact when you need help. So whether you are aged 13 or 40, the purpose of my presentation is you to learn about this vital area of life, which worries many teenagers all over Britain, and most probably the world. And my aim is you to give a knowledge how it is dangerous to get addicted to drugs so that the country can reduce the number of teenagers, the future generation getting addicted to drugs. In addition it will be more interesting because it includes true life experiences which will help to have a basic knowledge on drugs and I inserted animation and background colour to the slides and I added sounds under slides transitions. I used appropriate images and text to put out the message clearly across the presentation. I organised the slides as a whole by using hierarchical
In this essay (assignment) I am going to explain how I use ICT in my life and what it gives and does
The way I use ICT at home and at school In this essay (assignment) I am going to explain how I use ICT in my life and what it gives and does. I will explain the benefits and the limitation of each technology that I will mention. The technology's I am going to write about can be used at home, at school, for work related matters, personnal use and social use. Internet The Internet is very important in my everyday life; it enables me to communicate online.. I Use the internet at home to communicate online by emailing my friends, going on chat lines, or by having my own chat space. I am able to do this even if I am in another country. Last year I went to Nigeria, I was able to have access to the internet. I was able to chat online to my friends who were in London. The Internet also enables me to play games. This an easier process because, just a few years ago updated games couldn't be played on the internet, and I had to lay games by hand like o's and x's. Playing games by hand is very boring and always has to be played with someone, which is also the same as a board game. Now the game on the internet is very fun to play and saves paper and time. The games on the internet actually have moving graphics and are very detailed so I find it more interesting. At school I use the internet to find out information for any subject which requires research. When I was not able to use the

The Impact of ICT on society.
The Impact of ICT on society. Introduction I will be looking in detail at all aspects and results of ICT on society on a whole. By doing this I hope to look in detail at the benefits and misgivings on what seems to have been a global change which has an impact as large as that since the birth of the telephone by Alexander Graham bell. Undoubtedly communications technology has revolutionized extremely fast in the past years, it has grown from a phone which resembled the old house hold brick to devises which can be the small the household computer mouse. They also contain technology which enable you to send graphics even video in real time to others, and have change from the old dot matrix screen to and a black LCD screen to the High resolution colour screen which people use today. Although this has been greatly enhanced by the highly lucrative and growing market of mobile phone, there is continual pressure by Civil Rights Groups complaining that the government has technology to create a supposed "big brother society" and have also complained about conversations been supposedly snatched from the air and taped by any government services which may want to do this. The currently law as it stands enable the government to tale any conversation from, the air if they deem it to be a threat to national security. This requires backing from either * The home office * The
ICT and communication. We all use mobile phones for communication purposes. You can ring and text people
Communication The communication has improved greatly thanks to all the new technologies like mobile phones, internet and satellites. Mobile phones We all use mobile phones for communication purposes. You can ring and text people using pay as you go, or contract. Many people choose to go on pay as you go especially teenagers and children as it is the easiest way to control the amount of money is being spent on the calls and texts. The mobile phones are very easy to use and they make our life a lot easier. You get signal pretty much anywhere, therefore using your phone is always possible. Mobile phones are very useful, when for example your car breaks down and you need to call AA, or when you just need to order a taxi. Teenagers use mobiles for texting throughout most of the day. Many of them have unlimited text therefore they can keep in constant contact with their friends. This does however cause some problems, because when the teenagers are in school they get very easily distracted and instead of learning, they text instead. people use a mobile phone not only for communication purposes; they may use it as a watch, mp3 player, camera, internet browser. All these things are mainly used by the teenagers, as it is normal for them, whereas people from older generations find all of these things weird and they would much more prefer to wear a watch instead of looking at their
Look at how introducing internet usage to a small organisation would benefit the company and whether or not the initial set up costs would benefit the company financially in the long run.
E commerce assignment. In this assignment I am going to look at how introducing internet usage to a small organisation would benefit the company and whether or not the initial set up costs would benefit the company financially in the long run. Having selected a business through using a simple e-commerce viability test ( please see bibliography) I have conducted further investigation into the amount of computer access they have and estimated the amount of investment required. Initial investigation NG motorsport is a newly founded company with one employee (the owner). The company specialises in after market motorsport tuning accessories. Offers a car sales package where they sell a car on behalf of a customer and also a small bodyshop. NG motorsport has a home pc with internet access and a laptop but these are used mainly for accounting and general admin (not as a marketing tool) and the companies client base is fairly small (local area). The companies main objectives are as follows. * To be profitable * To provide unrivalled value for money and customer care * To be successful and competitive * To have a larger market share in the North Cornwall area. The owner is looking to introduce e-operations as his main marketing tool in order to cut overheads by having an "electronic showroom" and increase his client base. Benefits of using E-commerce the benefits of using
ICT - Impact of ICT on the way Students do things at home and at school.
Impact of ICT on the way Students do things at home and at school. In this report I am going to describe and elucidate the effectiveness of some of the ICT technologies in my personal, social and work-related life. Some of the technologies which I use include Storage media, such as DVDs, CDs, Zip disks, Portable hard drives, and floppy diskettes. Communication - mobile phones, video conferencing - is another form of technology I utilize everyday. Another technology I will examine is Data Capture, examples of which are digital cameras/webcams, scanners, voice recorders/microphones. Finally, I will discuss the most common use of ICT technology, Entertainment - for instance, games consoles, mp3 players and digital TV. How do the ICT technologies I mentioned above meet my needs as a student? Firstly - Storage Media; devices such as portable hard drives and optical disks, are all used to carry physical data around with ease. For example, until very recently, the SmartMedia card was used on early digital cameras with capacities of 16MB and 32MB (then replaced by the Security Digital Card and MultiMedia Card which are physically smaller and can hold more data). CDs can take data, or music to play on stereos etc. They hold a maximum capacity of 700 megabytes. DVDs (Digital Versatile Disks), however, can hold huge capacities ranging from 4.7 - 17 Gigabytes/GB (1024MB) of data
