Studying ICT

In this blog I am going to discuss whether it is better to study ICT skills to use a computer or to study computers to understand how to programme computer  software.  I am also going to be discussing about the advantages and the disadvantages.

So let’s start with studying ICT skills:

People all over the United Kingdom use simple ICT skills, these skills are using Word, Publisher, Excel, PowerPoint etc, and they also know how to use these softwares and what they are for,  an example would be that:

• Microsoft Word: Word is used for making letters and to comment on someone else’s work.
• Microsoft Publisher: Publisher is used for making posters, leaflets, flyers etc.

People also use ICT skills to play games, surf the web, social networking even to entertain themselves.  There are loads ICT skills, one of them you can do easily.

Whereas there are a quite a few reasons for studying computers so let’s talk about that now:

Some people when they grow up, might want to be an IT teacher or and IT technician, or they might want to carry out further with ICT, so they will look into how and they might be one.  Another reason is that if some else’s data is lost on their laptop, desktop or any device they have another person will be able to replace it right away.  So for example I am a complete thicko (but I know how to use ICT skills) and my  mate Samra knows everything about computer software, if I lose all my data, Samra will know how to restore it back.  But on the other hand it is useful to know how you do it yourself in case you friend is not there.

So they are the arguments for both ICT skills and studying computers.  So in my opinion I think it is better to know how to use ICT skills, not because I find it easy it is because I know how to use them, but I really don’t want to be an IT teacher or a technician.  But also I think you still need to learn how to study computers just in case.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Social Networking

In this blog I am going to be discussing why an organisation might want to spend their time to invest more in their business, this is called social networking.

The good points 

An organisation might want spend their time to invest more in their business and in social networking to notice what products they are selling and get more people interested in their products. They might also do this to get more people to know hoe good their organisation is. Also because social networking sites are very big they have to get more things on their so they can get more people interested  it is also a good way of promoting things instead of going out themselves and prompt it by his/her self.

The bad points 

But on the other hand if you give out the information it might be wrong information, so for example: if you are ill and someone else has to give the information out, they might give out the wrong kind of information.

Devices Connected To The Internet

In this blog I will be discussing the devices that are connected to the internet all around you.

People are using smart phones everyday now.  So when your smart phone is connected it is connected to the to all the other devices that are in that room. For example if one person is connected to an internet other people are connected to the same internet as you. This is an issue because people have thier private information on it like passwords, pictures and private messages. Most of some phones are now smart phones, smart phones have wi-fi and you will have to use the correct password to connect to the internet then you can access the internet without even paying and it will be very fast. In most homes the wi-fi box is used for all of the devices in your house. If your device is connected with other devices you can share pictures with them but on the other hand your smart phone could get a virus and if it is really bad you might not be able to use that smart phone again
