I do not think that collecting the information for the Internet is the best source of information as it is not always reliable and false information can easily be put on to the internet. However, the people who write the information on the websites must get their information from somewhere, therefore it comes from an original source that is unknown and therefore the facts could have been changed along the way and therefore may not be as reliable as it first was and therefore it is not always wise to trust the information. Whereas, a book is much more reliable, as not only has it probably been written by someone who understands the topic but it will have also been edited several times to ensure that the information is correct. Therefore i would use a book over the internet, as it is more reliable although information on the internet is more accessible.

ICT at my library

The library in my local area has a large amount of computers that are avilable to any member of the public who holds a library card, that a very easy to apply for. Members are allowed to use the computers and printers and scanners for as long as they wish and for what they wish within reason. It has brought more people to the library and the library now has a nice atmosphere and has a made a great impact on library life.

ICT access in my local community.

We have very good ICT access in our local community, their are many computers for use in our public library which anyone can use. Children have a large number of computers they can use at their school, where they learn alot about how to work and use a computer. We have good internet access in the local area and people can also use computers in the community centre. Any disadvantaged groups in the area can easily get access to a computer and learn more about them.

wirless technologies

Its purpose is to make things easier to use and safer. It certainly does help the digital divide as it makes it increasingly harder for the poorer countries to catch up with the rest of the world. Its main target auidence is businesses and people who have an interest in computers and use them often . It doesnt really improve the way the computer works and can sometimes cause problems, when battries run out or the connection is lost. I dont think it has many certaing strength but not many certain weaknesses either. Improvments are constantly being made and they continue to for years and years, but i do not see any obvious improvements they can do with wireless technololgies as of yet.

who studie computing subjects?

Post 16 there are certainly more boys than girls studying computing subjects. Not mainly because it interests boys more than girls but girls tend not to understand their way around a computer as much as a boy does. A boy finds more interest in a computer as they play computer games and stuff unlike a girl does, as they generally just use word and the internet and learn about any other programmes when necessary. In todays world most jobs include using a computer and similar technologies and therefore this is why it is easier for boys to get higher paid jobs as they have studied computers unlike most girls, who then have to learn more about computers later on in life and find it harder than if they had learnt about it earlier on in their life. It ceratinly has an impact on society, as it makes men more superior again, as they can fix things and tend to be in the higher paid jobs because they know how to use a computer probably and have a qualification in it.

Impact of the internet acces for the homeless

Acces to the internet could help change the life of a homeless person, as they could use the internet to educate themselves more and improve their intelligence about things, such as english, maths, history and science. They can also look on the internet about ways in which they can restart their life, by finding somewhere suitable to stay, they can look on websites to help them find jobs and such things. Acces to the internet would be extremely useful for a homeless person.
When someone does have the internet it tends to put them on the wrong side of the social side of life and obviously this is extremely unjust but it is just the way things go into todays world unfortunately. Also, it is not as easy for them to find out information and such things.
Obviously , they are plenty of things that are more important to a person rather than having access to the internet. Clearly, you have family, friends and health and all that but after those sort of things, there is a phone and food and such things that people would find it hard to live without.
