The Manual Method compered to ICT.

A03 THE MANUAL METHOD I did not have to use any form of computer of ICT equipment to do this task, as it could have been done by hand. To do this I would take a piece of paper and pencil and draw the company logo and either by freehand, or with the use of stencils could have written out all of the information required and then included the vacancy details. To keep a track of the staff wages and production situation I could have used a card for each position. This would keep all of the job details including: shift times and rates of pay etc. I could use an adding machine to calculate pay, tax and national insurance etc. This manual system would be very time consuming considering the staff wages needs to be recalculated on a regular basis. THE BENEFITS OF ICT The use of ICT is of great benefit for this type of system as once the details are created for the first time they can be used over and over again. This can be done by saving the original spreadsheet and pay slip template then recalling it each time it has to be used. The spread sheet and pay slip can be updated easily by adding, removing or changing information. No need to start all over again each time a week, no need for a rubber or correction fluid if you make a mistake or want to delete information. I have the use of tools such as spelling or grammar checking, I can easily experiment with different size and

Renaissance Choir Finance Management System

Renaissance Choir Finance Management System Introduction I will be making a system for the accounts of Renaissance Choir. Renaissance Choir are based in Emsworth and have 29 members. They sing at many events throughout the year and sometimes in Chichester Cathedral. They meet weekly. Statement of Problem Renaissance Choir require a system to manage their finances. It must be flexible and easy to use, so that anyone could come along and use it, without previous knowledge. Schedule of Activities Section Weeks Specification .5 Implementation 3 Testing .5 Evaluation User Documentation Total 8 Background The current system is based on two books containing input and output for the choir. All entries are written into the book by hand, and the books have to be carried to meetings when necessary and this is not very convenient, and rather slow. A computerised system would be more efficient. The system needs to deal with petty cash, as a constant amount is usually kept as a float or for occasions where cash is required and not a cheque or other method of payment. Overview As the system needs to contain columns of data, a spreadsheet would be most appropriate. I would use Excel, as I am well acquainted with it and it has many useful features that I can use to my advantage. My system would be composed of several sheets- a main sheet with buttons to move between

Database advantages and disadvantages for a user.

Database Advantages Tasks made easier for Steve Jones if a database was used. Creating and inserting records is quicker If Steve Jones used the paper based way of a database that really caused a lot of confusion within the company such as staff records were not stored in a proper manner neither was it stored in alphabetical order so this also caused a lot of hassle and trouble but if you were to have a database copy that is computerized it is easy to create and insert records quick then a paper copy. You can sort the records in any order In database, when it came down to them looking for a certain employee or if that employee leaves this could potentially waste a lot of time if you were to have a computerised copy of the database it would have been simple to find any record, pressing the sort button it puts it into alphabetical order and by using the filter button which is on the toolbar under "records" and any other searches can be done with ease this could help a lot with the company's rapid turnover this is also helpful when you are try to add cost of the work or number of hours that been repaired to the system because it can sorts the record automatically.

ICT and entertainment, TV and games consoles.

Entertainment and leisure Today there is a lot of technology which can be found to help improves our day to day lives by providing us with entertainment e.g. the TV, computer, radios, and games consoles. Television People use TV to keep up to date with all the latest news and gossip, and they also like to watch films. Within the past few years TVs have dropped rapidly in price so there is no real excuse not to own one anymore. There have been some proven problems with the TVs. They may cause some social problems for people who decide that watching TV is more important than going out and socializing with friends and family. Personal life's may also be affected by the television as some people can become obsessed with watching the television resulting in not having enough time to do other activities e.g. read or clean. Also there is a small chance that over the course of many years, people allow their values and opinions to be persuaded by television. But on the other hand a television helps socialize, if you have happened to watch the same programme or following the same series as a friend, you will have something that you both can talk about. Also televisions are great if you have a few friends around and you can all sit back and relax together whilst watching the same thing. TVs are great after a long stressful day so you can sit back and relax to a programme of your
