Mobile Websites

In this blog I will be talking about mobile websites.

Websites are usually on the internet now a days you can use it on the mobile.  Mobiles are becoming more popular and people all over the world are using mobiles.

People go on the internet on  desktop to go on social networking or to order things online, and people are now using the internet on thier mobiles. this could be just to go on social networking.

Also if people go around it will make it easier for them to get things they need. If access to sites on smartphones weren’t to devlope people would lose internet in themselves, and people will lose interest in them, but mobiles are becoming to be more popular people use mobiles everyday regularly.

Mobile websites is a really good way to target younger audience that are absolutly love technology. It is also an easier way to shop around or browse a perticular website.

Monitoring Employees…

Monitoring Employees is where you might want to find out what you are up to outside of work or business, when interviewing peopl might want to know wherr you are and what are you doing when you are taking a day off work or in other words skivin. This is a good way of finding out what an employee has been doing if they have taken  time off work.

A few reasons why peopl might need to monitor them:

  • People will want to see where they are and if they are in the right place instead of being else.
  • People might not want others to be looking at them if they are doing inappropriate things.
  • Another reason why is because to see if they are on the right time.
  • People might also monitor employees because that they don’t give up the work that they are doing.

One negative example might be if an employee is making an excuse that they were ill or something, thier boss/employee could monitor thier location to see if they are doing something else or they are actually ill. And they had made a excuse they would have to be fired.

Altogether I think monitoring employees coould be used for both positive and negative.

 

L.O. Explore And Explain The Hardware Components Needed For A Given Scenario.

In this blog it will be about the hardware components which will be needed to set up a home office.

There are several hardware components that you will need to make a home office:

  • Monitor – The most comon output device is the monitor. Monitors has changed over the period of time from 4:3 to 16:9 or maybe 16:10. There are amny types of differnet brands for example LCD, Plasma, LG. Modern monitors are mostly Liquid Crtstal Displays (LCD), Thin Film Transistors (TFT) monitors. The older monitors are Cathod Ray Tube (CRT) monitors.
  • Keyboards – The most common input is a keyboard. A keyboard has loads of buttons and keys, it is just like a old fashion typewriter. There are 3 main keyboards: a standard, a laptop size and a thumb size. Desktop computer keyboards, such as the 101 key US traditional keyboards or the 104 Windows keyboards, include alphabetic letters, numbers, symbols, and a variety of function keys. A laptop size keyboard usually have shorter travel distance for the key strokes and a reduced set of keys.
  • Mouse – Another most common input device is a mouse. A mouse is a pointing device that functions by detecting two dimensional  motion relativeto it’s supporting surface. The earlier mice is the Trackball, which is invented by Tom Cranston. The Trackball is used at alternative to a mouse. User’s operate it by rotating the ball which moved the pointer on the screen. The Trackball are often used in the Computer Aided Design (CAD).
  • Microphone – Microphones are used to input sound. In computing they can be used with voice recognation software and a word processing application to enter text. Web cams often have a mircophone in them. Most microphonnes are used in many applications such as: telephones, tape recoders, karaoke systemm etc. There are many microphones invented here are some examples: Condenser Microphone, Dymanic Microphones, Carbon Microphones.
  • Scanner – A scanner can be used to digitise images. They are similar to a photocopier but they make a digital copy instead of a physical copy. Scanners can also be used with optical character recognation (OCR) software to scan text that is editable.  The modern scanners are typically used a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a Contact Image Senser (CIS) whereas older drum scanners use a photomultiplier tube as the image sensor. A rotary scanner is used for high speed document scanning it is another type of drum scanner but using a CCD array instead of a photomultilier. There are moire types of scanner for example planetary scanner, these type of scanners take photographs of books and documents and there are also 3D scanners, these type of scanners as used to produce 3 dimensional models of objects.

 

Digital Footprint

This blog will be about the Digital Footprint.

Some people will before taking on an employee or student an organisation may search for them on the internet to check their Digital Footprint.

What is the Digital Footprint?

A digital footprint is where if you want to have new people to work you will need to find thier digital footprint. In this digital footprint there will be telephone number, thier email address, thier chat messages, emails and also their personal information (Home Adresses, telephone numbers)

This might happen because people don’t want to employ people if they are not going to be any help to the business that they are doing and to find out if they would be or not be able to search for their digital footprint (name) and this would come up their emails, chat messages, Facebook, twitter etc.

If people do not look at the person’s Digital Footprint this could have a result in having someone working for their business who might not be safe to do the job.

Altogether in my opinion i think it is fair becuase if you did not know anything about the person, that wants to work in your business, it could be the wrong type of person and do the job wrong or might not know how to do it.
