I feel that the information on the internet is not the best source of information i feel that is not always reliable and can sometimes be incorrect, and even be complete rubbish at some points. However the people that write the information on the web are sometimes experts in this field or sometimes complete novices who do not know what they are talking about. I personally perfer books to the internet this is because they are normally more relible then the internet

research initiatives to fund the digital divide

i think that the governement plan to get more people learning ict skills is good idea because i majority of jobs now need ict, such as buisness and adminstation. also schools are focusing on it alot more due to the amount done on computers these days even subjects such as maths use computers now. the main target will eb younger people who are looking to better there jobs or get a promotion, its strengths are that it will better peoples jobs however it is putting everyone into the same job, the inprovements would be specailisations in these fields for example anaylsis

ict pensioners in rural england

i feel that technology has made a impact on couples live for example there are things like friends reunited and facebook where you can find people you went to school with and reunite with your old friends also, old boyfriends and girlfrineds could find each other and maybe get back together or meet up again.

i think are lives would actually better if we did not have computers because if we didnt then we would be fitter and there would also not be a playstation generation, like there is at the moment where younger children do not ever go outside they just sit infront of pcs all their lives.

if the couple could afford their own compter then there would be no need to go to the local community centre.

who studies computing subjects

i find that a majority of class in ict will be male dominanted, i think this is because more boys will play games consoles and go on computers, which is a sad thing to happen for the male generation, boys should really be out playing sport or out with their friends not inside playing on games consoles and pc's. i think girls prefer to be outside and boys are not really fussed on going outside which show how generations have changed, i personally have seena a huge change in the amount of boys that stay inside in my year compared to the years below, i have seen that the younger generations will stay inside even more then the older generation.

what is the impact of internet access for the homeless

the imapct of not having the internet on a person mean they do not have the ease that the rest of us have with the internet. for example they could not buy items on the internet or check bus or train times. however they would be alot fitter then people who are to lazy to go out and buy the things they like and also i think that is better to go to the shop because you can try before you buy which you can not do on the internet no matter how advanced the internet becomes.
5 things that are more inportant then the internet to a homeless people are a roof over your head, heat, food, warmth and family. however alot of people would rather have their internet at the top of priorities, alot of children thing the internet is everything and amrodity of people do not go out and do sport like they use to.

conclusion

i think that the impact of the information age will change the way we live are lives, for example the fact that we can now watch what happens on other peoples computers, this is getting close to braking the data protection act, also with the new buying online we give out means that are identity is very vunrable on the internet. there are alot of benifits such as ease with buying things on ebay and hmv and other internet sites, however you give away alot of information such as bank details espcailly with internet banking which is hugely popular and easy for busy people tio mange their money. the future will bring more advance in protection but identity theft will always be a huge problem in the modern world

monitoring internet and email use

the advantages for content monitoring are you can make sure what your employes are going on and doing with their time. also with the key words of cv and jobs coming up then, you can see if an employ is thinking of leaving their job for another one also if they are making a new cv, or looking up salaries, i think its a way to keep a tab on your staff more then anything.
how ever the negative points are that it could be classed as a privacy vialation also they could use the data protection act because you have access to their details. which could lead to a court trail depending on the person.
the system would not work very well for people who just use their computors for buissness because if they were searching cv or salaries for a project then it will just flag up on their computor all the time which would limit how much work he could do.
i do not think this system is a very bad system it shows that you do not trust your employes and have to keep an eye on what they are looking at also it shows that the company is very controlling aboyut employes leaving the company for different jobs.
