what did the world summit achieve

the world summit informed leaders of political, economical and social impacts of the internet, and other communication technologies that could help their countries in being able to see the full potential of the internet, three positive points that came out of this are that, people admitted they could do more to help close the digital divide, it informed people about the impact the internet could have on their countries and to what extent, and also it got alot of people to join up. three negative points are that, some countries did not join up so the divide in them countires will continue to grow, some countries dont want to do anything to help close the divide, there is not full political support for the plan. i think this was successful because it allowed countries to be able to see how much the internet could help them out and also got some pollitical support which will help in the future to reach their goal of getting every country to have osme form of media communication by 2015

E-mail in the Solomons

the extent of the divide is that hardly anybody in the area has a computer or much technology at all, this means they cannot comunicate with other people from different regions or with other countries aswell as not being able to use the internet for educations purposes. the problems that caused the divide are that a lack of information about technology around the area made people not want to get it as they do not know how to use it and also the weather conditions make it hard for technology to be around that area. the solutions provided so far are more knowlegde into that area about technology so that people will want to own some as they will know how to use it and what it does and how it can help their lives. a further solution i think would work it to have a wireless connection around the area which would mean people would not need to be conencted to the internet and it would save them money from the connection and they would be more likely to get a computer.

case study Laos

the extent of the divide in Laos is quite high as only a few of them have phone lines and electricity in them regions and even less have computers as the cost of buying one and having it connected to the internet is far too great for the average person there to be able to afford. the problems that have caused the divide are the high costs of ICT in the area, the weather around, lack of It standards, poor ISP service and lack of language support. the impact on the divide is that alot of people cannot communicate outside of their own region of the country very easily because there are normally only a few regions with telephone connections and that can send messages from a mobile. the solutions that have been provided are, cantennae which is using things from around to make recievers to get a connection, a pedal powered wireless computer which connects that area to other pcs for a signal, and learning centres to teach people in the areas about computers and how to use them in there own language. i think the impacts of these solutions would be that learning would get alot easier as alot more places would be able to get access to the internet, people would be able to talk alot more as they would always have a connection, and this would mean that different parts of the region would be able to communicate with each other and before they could not.

the success of wireless technology

wireless technology is a solution because it will allow the countries with computers but no internet to be able to access the internet with no permanent power supply which will mean that they can transfer data to different areas and also use it for things such as e-mails and videos. this will make them countries want to access the internet more as they will be able to see what it is capable of doing. this overcomes the problem of other countries not being able to communicate with other countries as it would let them access the internet and them communicate with other countries and let them know what is going on. the benefits wireless technology has is that it will allow people to communicate alot easier as they do not always need a permanent connection to the internet and it can also be useful for education because it will let people look up things that they want to find out.

reducing the divide

the advantages for the developed world for bridging the divide are that they will have more jobs that people from other countries can do that before they could not be able to do, and also by bridging the gap then they have more ways of trading with other countries and it makes it alot easier to do so as they can do it over computer now instead so it saves time and money.

the advantages for the poorest nations are that they will now have more options avaliable to get money as they can take jobs from other countries which will allow the citizens there to make alot more money than they are making at the moment, this should increase the countries GDP which will as a whole make the country richer.

i think he was right because by matching internet access levels with telephone levels it means that people would be able to make a living off the internet as well as off the phone and by matching the levels of these two things the amount people should make should even out as there are not less jobs in one sector for more skilled people so they should all get the same amount.

i think charities such as computer aid do more good than harm because they help people in other countries to be able to use computers and also this means that the levels of internet access and telephong levels are getting closer to each other all of the time so i think that these charities help.

woman and information technology in sub-saharan Africa

The reasons for effective ICT are technology affects women's and men's work differently, there concern because of women's low participation in the IT professions, the 'IT world' could be dominated by men and that women are discriminated against, as some feminists believe, or just that women find it increasingly difficult to participate in various fields because of the greater demands placed on them, the focus on women gained importance because there is a shortage of skills in the area and women can play a vital role. Women may have certain skills which men often lack, such as business aptitudes, people and communication skills and management potential, there is interest because it is thought that women's jobs are either becoming less skilled or are being displaced by the new technology.

the most pressing need for Africa is to get some reliable power supply, a good transfering network, foregin currency, and computer literate personal to operate the computers .

the computer aid projects have been quite successful as they have helped the people in Africa to learn how to use computers better and also they have made it a better place for computers to be used in since the country used to be quit a hard place to be able to use computer in.

they failed because alot of women did not attend the the technical programmes and they were trying to teach the women there about it more than the men so in this way they failed.

what leads to being on the wrong side of the divide

the things that can lead to being on the wrong side of the divide include things like what country people are in, this is because in the countries with less money the people would not be able to afford computers so this would lead to them not knowing how to use them and also it would make it so that the country as a whole is on that side of the digital divide as no one in the country would be able to afford the computers. also this could mean that the country does not have many people who know how to use a computer very well. this would lead to others not knowing how to use them even if they had the money to buy a computer so it would stop people in the country learning how to use computers and would stop them buying computers if they could afford them as they would not know how to use them if they did have one. this could make the country stay that side of the digital divide for longer than they need to be.

subject directories and search engines

i think this is less useful than a simple search engine because it gives yo alot of different options to choose from and the descriptions are nearly the same so it could easy get confusing for the people who are trying to find things. whereas a search engine is laid out easily to read and shows you parts on the webpage so you will know what it contains and it highlights the keywords so you will know in what context the words you typed in are used and tell if it is the correct website you want with the right information

research initiatives to fund the digital divide

computers within reach - the purpose is to help learners to use a computer and show them how to do things on it and enhance their employment prospects and learning opportunities by providing access to computers. this relates to the digital divide because it gives people without access to computers a chance to use them and access to learning about them aswell. the main target clients are people that have not used computers before and do not kn ow how to use them. the strengths are that it will help people learn how to use computers buts the disadvantages are that it will not help people who know how to use computers so they will get nothing from it. the improvements that could be made are that it could go to other countries to help them with computers aswell.

reducing the divide

The advantages of bridging the gap in the global digital divide is that, more and more people will be able to access the internet, less and less people will be illiterate because technology can be used to help people learn to read and write. Also there will be a lot more jobs for people in the worlds due to the internet, telecoms ect. The advantages for the poorest nations are that they will get more money, there will be more jobs available and the country will earn more money due to this. Clinton was incorrect, matching internet and telephone levels will not help to reduce income equality because there will be a higher rate of income equality because there is more communications available to the people in the world. Charities such as computer aid do better than harm because they are collecting money to help buy computers for people all over the world to help them with illiterately, the computers mostly go to countries that are less economically developed.

ICT and pensioners in rural England

i think techonology does has a genuine impact on the couples lives because it allows them to do things like shopping from home now and if they need to contct people while they are out they can easily now instead of having to wait until they get in to be able to phone anyone. also they can save time by doing things like booking holidays online which will also save money on most websites and even get you better deals than going to the travel agents to book a holiday. there lives would not be too much poorer if they did not have ict because they do not use it enough for it too make too much of a difference to their normal lives, and since they have not used it most of their lives they would just continue how they were. i think the community centre would still be helpful as they can learn stuff in person there instead of trying to buy programs or guides that show you how to use a computer so they will have better practise at using one.

who studies computing subject

7 boys 6 girls are in my applied i.t class so this is quite even in numbers between the two, normally in computing there are more boys than girls in the classes, this could be because boys normally have more of an interest in electronics than girls do so it would explain why more boys are normally in the classes. although in this class that is not true as the numbers is pretty much even. i think that this would have an impact on society by having more men in computing jobs when they go into work which means that most people would probably think that men are better at the job sicne they are normally the ones doing the job.

what is the impact of internet on the homeless

five things that would be more important to a homeless person than the internet are, Food and drink so that they can stay alive and not be hungry, Physical needs like blankets to keep warm, Money to buy the things that he needs, Company so he doesnt go crazy and has interaction with people, and shelter so that he can keep out of the rain.

these things would be better than the internet for a homeless person as they would be needed for them to survive while the internet would only be used to find out information and for entertainment purposes.

subject directory

you can use this directory to find out different things about the internet, if you choose the internet then you can find out alot of different thing under it which will allow you to see whatever you need to.



then from here you can go into different categories and then choose things and a list will come up which allows you to see about everything in that area. this is helpful as it allows you to find what you need to easily as it clearly says the categories and they are easy to find. also there is a search bar for if you do not want to look through everything you can just type it in quick.

society and the individual

We should allow society to 'look after us' to the extent that we still have our freedom, we should not be controlled on what we do each day so that we can still do what we want without feeling restricted. Our individual freedom should still count and matter, society should not be taking away our own individual freedom. Our freedom should not be deprived, but we should allow society to look after us by looking through databases and using technology to find things that could harm us/the society, the things that we cannot do very easily ourselves. this would help protect us while still having the freedom that everybody wants.

monitoring internet and email use

The advantages of content monitoring in an estate agency is the managers can tell if employees are wasting time on the computers during working hours e.g. going on games ect also it can track down the source of a virus if any viruses are found on the computer which saves time from people looking for them.

The negative impacts of this method of monitoring is that the employees might feel not trusted with what they are doing on the computers and could want to leave, also content monitoring may make employees feel like they are being constantly watched by there managers making them feel uncomfortable and make them feel insecure which could lead to them not working properly.

The advantages it has for employees is that it can protect them from any websites that could be a threat to the them and stops them from being in any danger from viruses, also the employees will not be dragged into any inappropriate websites because the content monitoring is stopping any bad websites from being viewed on the computer.

The system can cause problems if the system is only used for business purposes because the system will not allow the computers to be used for any thing else that strictly business purposes, the system could see business purposes as something different than the users which could restrict the amount or quality of their work.

The system should be used but also it should be monitored by someone at the same time to make sure the system is running well and not sending reports to the managers by accident.

teen arrive alive GPS tracking system

The benefits of using a this new technology is that the parents can be sure where there child is anytime they want to check up on them, also this technology can help the emergency services if on the GPS it says that they have had a crash then the parents can contact the emergency services. The drawbacks to having this is that there daughters and sons may think that this technology is invading there privacy, also the GPS could fail and not work or have a technical fault making the GPS show something that is not happening which could then waste peoples time and maybe money if they have to call out the emergency services when it says there is a crash and there is not

discussion us passports and RFID

These passports will save a lot of time but the dangers of this new technology are that there could be fake micro chips which could cause people to have fake identities or easily steal someone's that already exists and this could cause alot of trouble for that person. Also the dangers are that the scanner could fail or not work properly which will make the ID checks slower and less convenient. Also the tags will only be inserted to 1 million passports not all the passports, which there will be no need for the scanners because only 1 million people will have them.

investigating the pros and cons of id cards

The government is proposing to have ID cards for anyone over 16 that is a UK resident the ID cards will provide an easy and secure way for legal UK residents to prove who they are when they apply for services at private businesses, or for government benefits. The ID cards will be able to meet its purposes and also be able to meet the purposes of how it will be used for other things that are not part of its intended purpose. The advantages of having ID cards is that the cards can prove a persons identity and age which can be helpful, also the ID cards will be easy to carry around and not be a huge risk if lost, were as if you use your passport or driving license as ID and lose it, it will be a bigger risk if lost. The disadvantages are that the ID cards may be violating a person’s privacy also if the ID cards are successful then they may become compulsory when a lot of people may not want ID cards. I think ID cards should be aloud but only issued if people want them.

managing information overload

Spreadsheets can keep a lot of information organised and stored together so not much information is overflowing and you would not need two spreadsheets for the same thing every often. Simulation software can enable you to create a simulation on what would happen if you made certain decisions, so that if you run a simulation making a decision and you do not like the out come you can change you decision without changing all the information which helps because you do not actually make the mistake. Data mining tools can greatly help the organisation of data, mining tools can pick out relevent information from a large amount of information.

Making choices

the mobile phone that i would get for my grandmother is the Doro HandlePlus 334 Big Button Mobile
[HandlePlus 334. i think that she should get this phone because it has large buttons so that she can see what one she is pressing. and also it only has 4 buttons which will dial to who they are set to with the names next to them, this means that she can phone people easily without getting confused with all the buttons and other features on a normal phone. the phone does cost quite a bit of money but it is worth it for how simple it is to use and easy to get along with. it has easy and simple key locks and sos button which can be seen as they are big buttons. with an easy to read display so they will not need to try and see it.
