teen arrive alive GPS tracking system

i think this is a pointless system that does not need to be used because all it does is monitor your car. i think it is just a way of parents trying to keep an eye on their child when they should let them have there own independents. Aldso by the company claiming that 78 per cent of teenagers are ticketed or have a crash by the time they are 18, is not really fair to use because they are new drivers which means they are always going to make mistakes in their first few years of driving because they have no driving experience. i thin that this program is just a way of parents making sure they can keep an eye on their children, so i think it is just for over protective parents.

Discussion US passport and RFID

the dangers are that people could make fake identitys with modern computer programs, also i think that you culd quite easily miss out people i a crowded airport, where as with convention passports no one gets missed out because you have to go through passport control and get checked befroe you are allowed through to the departures which is good. also if someone got hold of one of the scanners they could very easily steal your identity with everything on it, because it contains your biometric identity.

Pro's and Cons of ID cards

There is alot of ict involved in the new ID cards for example there is a electronic chip in them that has all your information in it, such as date of birth and also a retner image of your eye in the chip.

i think it is not really need because passports already have all this information on them, and you would use your passport more often i think. also the passport would be used more by other people because it has been around for ages.

the advantages would be it would speed up check in at airports because there would be no fussing with id cards and passport, how ever if it went wrong it would cause huge problems

i do not think that these Id cards are a good idea i think they would cause unesseccary hasel

making choices

i have found a couple of good phones on the carphone warehouse for £9.95. these phones are really basic but are nice and simple to use and have all the neccessery componants that a phone will need, such as a colour screan and polyphonic ringtones. Also the phone is not to big and not to small, and is also simply to use with a clear green phone to answer the phone and a clear red to end the call.

Computer games

I think that computer games are so popular because everyone has a games console and they are prefect for parties, epsically with games like Guitar hero and singstar and buzz, these are brilliant games for all ages at parties. Also we have what is known as a playstaion generation, which means we are a sociatey of lazy teenegaers that just sit and play games which is bad for their eye sight being sat infront of a screne and also it is bad are social skills because we are only interacting with virtual people.

I think that computer games do not make me violet but they do however make some children violet for example the game manhunt got banned for being to violet and because it was being used in a trial of a young boy how had murederd in the same way you do on the game.

I think that games make you isolated because a majority of the time you are playing on your own. however with the invention of xbox live and the ps3 being able to talk and play against people all over the world has made it so you are not isolated

Pirated entertainment

the advantages of paying for dvds and music is that you get a better quality of music or of dvd, then if you pirate entertainment. for example if you pay for entertainment then you can grantee that someone wil not get up half way through and go to the toilet, or the camera will not be dropped because an attendent has come in.
the disadvantages of buying from a market stall is that if it does not work you can't take it back the next day because the chances are that they wont be there the next day. Also the chances are if they are there then, they wont refund you anyway.
The disadvantages of downloading a film before its uk release is that you will get a foreign film so it will be dubed for that nation. Also it will have terrible quality and the vision is terrible.
You are stopping the artist making money, you are cheating the system and you are leaving your computer open to viruses and other programs.
i think that wide spread donwload will discourage new talent music there is no money in music if everyone is illegally downloading

business communications

Business' use e-mail, instant messaging, mobile phones and lots more on a regular basis. E-mail's are used a lot in the workplace in order to communicate internally and externally, e-mails have replaced the old fashioned way of communicating internally, memos. E-mails are a much more quicker and efficient way of getting a message to many people in the workplace and allows people to send the same message multiple. Also, business make a large amount of phone calls in a day from mobile phones and office phones, it is a quick way of communicating and a good way of ensuring a client or collgeaue has got the message you wanted them to have and a fast way of getting a response.

Communication evaluation

the main types of communication i use at home is widows live messanger and facebook. i will also use my phone which i can get facebook and msn on as well, so i can still contact my friends when im on the move. i only use email at certain times mainly to talk to a girl i no in canada because phone calls over there are very very expensive, so i will email her, i also my friends at university because they are secared all around the country so its easier to contact them with email then phone, because they could be in a lecture or something where there not suppose to have their phones on.

When do you use mobile phones

I use a mobile phone on a daily bases i do not leave the house with out mine, it is how i comunicate with my friends and arrange to meet up. I also use mine as a camera and a music player, because it saves carrying around an ipod, camera and phone when you can have them all in one. The only problem with mobile phones is that it messes up your english becasue you speak in text messaging language rather then normal english for example before would be 'b4' and tonight would be '2nite'. i think that a mobile phone fulfils its purpose and above.

When do you use email

I use emails mainly to contact my friends in other countrys, or send and recieve work from college. The major benefits of using emails are that you can send files and pictures along with them, also it quicker then sending a letter also it is granteed to get there where as letters and other mail may get lost in the post. Also it saves companies alot of paper and time, for example if they have the same letter going out to a big group of people then with an email all you have to do is add all the recipitants to the mailing list, unlike with a letter where you have to write out the adresses separtely.

Digital communication versus voice conversation

Communication with SMS has alot of social disadvantages and advantages. The disadvantages are that they stop you interacting with people in a physical way and also by using SMS the reciever of your text will not no if you are being sarcastic or not, because they cannot see your facial expressions or you body language, this can end up with the person on the other end getting the wrong idea about the content of your SMS. However the advantages are that if you are shy then you can get to no someone without making yourself look like an idiot in front of them.

The social downsides of firing off a quick email rather then having a short convosation, are that again you could make the email sound like something it isnt. For example if you put sarcasum into the email then that could be interpreted in a different way.

anaylsising the good old days

Two applications he could use are microsoft access and excel.

These both have there advantages and disadvantages. The advantages of Access are that you can automatically fill in forms from other spreadsheets and databases so this saves you the hassel of doing it by hand. An advantage of using excel is that it can do calculations automatically and work out percentages and charts from your data this is very good for anyone, or any buisness because it saves them alot of time and money.

secretaries and typists were affected by these office packages because they found they are no nger need as much as they were because anyon e can do their job now so there is no need to hire as many, hwereas before they were the only people who could do that job. I think that access affected them the worst because it can do everything they can but quicker and with no faults, this is the same with excel the calculations wil always be right, because there is little human input so there is no room for human error.

However when these new office applications alot of new jobs became avaliable. Some examples of jobs are computer programers, and computer anaylsises. These new office applications made way for a whole new carrer which was the digital carrer. These carrers required lots of work because these systems had never been used before so no one really knew what they were doing on them.

analysing the good old days

two programs that they could use are microsoft access and microsoft excel. If they used these programs they would save paper and be able to manage their accounts easier. Two advantages of these programs are it is enviromental friendly, its quicker then using paper, also it stops human error. Access can be used alot more effiently then excel because you can make forms that automatically fill them selves in, which saves you time and effort.

problems

However there are problems with this one is he may turn on the pc and get a blue screen, or the battery may die or the files may be curupted and no longer work. Also all these items cost alot of money, such as a laptop, for a good one you are looking at about 600-700 pounds, or if you want a really nice one you are looking at £1200-£2000

tool man

If John had a laptop he could overcome alot of his problems, such as the need to carry a bulky sales catalogue containing all the lastest prices. if he had a laptop he could download it all to a single file and find the price which much more ease. Also If he had gps or sat nav he would no longer get stuck in trappic because the new sat nav will detect an accident and then re plot your route around the accident. If he had a mibile phone then he could inform cilents that he might be late and can also do calculations on his mobile, because it will have a calculator on it, also if he got the right phone, like the iphone or a sony walkmen phone he could also listen to his music on there whilst he drives or whilst he is walking to a client, also he would not have to carry coins around for the phones because he can simpley make a call to that person also if he had contract he would not have to top up the phone either.

Online Entertainment

The lastest online entertainment i have used was the playstation 3, on here we played guitar hero 3, this was very entertaining watching how into the game people get and the how hard the actual game is. If you play this game online you can purchase bonus songs such as the top gun athem, also you can play people across the world at any point. The limitations are the wireless can drop out as can be hard to connect at first. Also if you have slow internet connection speed it will make or gaming slower.

Downloads

In my family i am the only one who really downloads items. The items i download are music from itunes which i do on a regular bases, also i will download the lastest versions of certain programs such as itunes and the new windows programs and apple updates. I also download the new version of AVG everytime i turn on my computer this is done automatically by the program and keeps the program up to speed with any new virus's and replaces any old programs with the newest versions. I rather download these items because it is quicker then going to the shop and buying the program or going out and buying the cd, also if i only want one song then there is no point in buying the whole cd.
