Changes to Jobs due to ICT in the Travel Agency
Some jobs in travel services have been created due to ICT for example travel agencies. Also employees lose their jobs due to it because they’re not qualified or suitable for the job. The changes that are made in travel services due to ICT is that their business speeds up and its fastest service.
The travel agency has changed with the database that I made them by making them faster at their jobs because before when the customer phoned in. the employee had to make the customer wait whilst they searched for the files of the customer, but now all they have to do is type in the customer’s name at all the information will appear.
The job role and specification have changed with your system by making the service faster and satisfying the customer, it also looks really professional with the letters that they send the customers to inform them what they need to know.
Health and safety
Some of the legal obligations on employers for workers using computers are the injury that is a concern. The injuries are listed below.
The law
The Data protection Act requires all organizations which handle personal information to comply with a number of important principles regarding privacy and disclosure. The Act states that anyone who processes personal information must comply with eight principles. The Act also allows people to find out what personal information is held about them by making a subject access request. This covers information held electronically and in some paper records, and includes credit reference details.
The data protection helps the agency by protecting there customers information or any viruses get to the computer.
The Computer Misuse became law in August 1990. Under the Act hacking and the introduction of viruses are criminal offences. Universities and colleges need to co-operate to take action under the Act as the offences are likely to be committed by members of universities and colleges, students in particular, and are often perpetrated on machines or networks within the sector.
Security
The security measures that should be used are passwords and AVG.
The effect it will have is that the work will go forever and the way to prevent it is to make sure that your data has a backup, a password and kept safely.
Difference between my system and a commercial system
The system that real organisations would use is either they would go to an ICT company that is professional at the job and give them the detail on how they would want the company’s website to be like or they will get a different software other than Microsoft publisher from any computer shop such as pc world and do it from that software.
The system I used and the system that real companies use has a lot of differences between them such as their product that comes out is more professional than my and they will have much better effects on their system. Also they will have better facilities than mine to make their product and that’s why their product becomes more popular.
Understanding social, Economic, legal and moral effects of ICT = 1
Explain difference between the system and a commercial one = 2
Compare and contrast wider working practices = 2
