The Impact of ICT on Society
The Impact of ICT on Society I will talk about how ICT has effected people from all walks of life, how it has effected jobs and living conditions. The impact of ICT on society is great. As more and more people begin to work from home, or jobs become de-skilled, computer based, the social implications are going to be very serious. The most important issue is increased leisure time, and as more work is done in less time, the result should mean more leisure time. In some rare cases this does happen. Take for example small businesses, or larger teleworker companies where people are allowed to work from home. Leisure time does not always increase, the managers and the companies require the workers the same amount of time spent on the job, so people should become more productive and a lot more work will be done. A bonus of this would be that as leisure time increases, the leisure industry will grow, and more people would use the leisure time, which would improve the workers morale. Another effect of ICT on the society is the introduction of home shopping over the Internet, this aspect could possibly result in people never leaving their homes, doing everything from home, possibly resulting in house bound individuals who could not leave their houses even if they wanted to. Continuing on this vein, talking about working at home, the amount of required offices may be reduced.
mail merge
Identification My granddad, Sam Screen, runs a local video and game rent or buy shop and he is finding it hard to update all the customers about returning late videos or games, because of the large amount of customers he has received over the years he has had the shop. The customers who have not sent back the video/game will get a notification letter of a continuous 6 hour fee, if a customer is abroad it will be a daily fee. One of our customers name is called Adam Sate, his phone number is 07658548358 and he lives in 117 Edgware Road, London, Middlesex, I17 H1O One way I could help him is to just write out the letters by hand and then send them out to the customers, another way I can help him by using mail merge so he could write 1 letter but when completed he would have (if needed) 10 letters ready for printing then mailing. Using mail merge this will also help him by keeping a documentation of all his customers, addresses and phone numbers for future reference. The advantage of using ICT over manual methods is that you can write out the letter you want, copy it and paste, it for however many letters you want then you can type in all the addresses, names and also prices. Another advantage of using ICT is that instead of typing out the letter and copying and pasting then typing in the names, addresses, phone numbers ect... it is that you can type up a letter use mail
Me Myself and ICT
Me myself and ICT Computer Applications: Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Calc. Internet: Information, Games, Viruses, Key loggers, Internet Banking, MSN, E-mail, Forums, Add-ons: Printers, Scanners, Modems Multimedia: DVDs, games, music, Computers are used for many things around the home and in business they have allowed for very fast transfer of information and can find almost any information in the world in seconds. I use my computer for mainly gaming, this meets my entertainment needs it's a Dell so it was built specifically for my needs and priorities. When playing online I use a free online program called mumble which allows me to talk to other people in the same "room" as me this allows for greater communication and teamwork. This meets my need to communicate. I also use it for homework as it's faster and more up to date than books and libraries however it's not always as reliable for finding information as some sites have incorrect information sites like Wikipedia can be added to by anyone so are unreliable. This meets my need for finding information. However if you don't have a fire wall then there is the possibility of viruses and key loggers which can be very dangerous if you use internet banking. I use Norton Internet Security, which protects my computer and meets my need to be safe online. The computer meets my needs as it allows me to do research on the internet
Task Analysis.
Task Analysis. There are numerous ways I could solve the given problem of producing a home-based travel agency. Each method has its advantages as well as disadvantages, however some of these outweigh the others. The company could perhaps set up a system themselves, keeping records on paper in a cabinet. This could prove to be an effective way to store and file customer information. Records could be accessed easily with little effort whilst kept secure, without worry of third parties obtaining customer's personal information. As helpful as this may be, there are many disadvantages to this method of storing personal details. A container to store the files in securely, could take up a lot of valuable space and be time consuming to set up as assembly of the container would have to be considered as well as the time it takes to write out each file, print and sort for storage in a logical manner such as alphabetically. Also, time would be consumed when new records are created, printed and stored. The loss of a file or record due to a number of factors including misplacement and destruction of data could become a hindrance as money and time would be lost. Another method would be for the company to perhaps set up their own database system. Again, there are many advantages and disadvantages to this technique. The system would possibly be less efficient compared to a professionally
