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.

What did the world summit achieve

The Summit aims to connect people worldwide with learning opportunities and creative ideas from the UK, and to build lasting relationships between the UK and other countries.
While the Summit has done some good it has also caused harm to some things, however, i think it is a good thing to have in place as even when it does cause harm their reasoning behind it was to make a difference, they have good intentions and this something we shouldnt turn our noses up at. We should allow them to help us build good relationships with other countries, it will certainly help us in the long run and there are no reasons to be at war with the majority of countries.

Email in the solomons

The digital divide is currently really bad, with America and such countries constantly releasing and improving technology the other poorer countries are finding it increasingly more difficult to catch up, this is becoming more of a worry for the world. There are charities in place, computer aid, in order to try and help the less developed countries to get new technology that would be beneficial to them. Thd digital divide is having a big impact on the world but they are trying to overcome it but they just cant keep up and i think it is unlikely that they will.

The success of wireless technology

Wireless technology has been very successful as more people are willing to have such technologys as they now do not have to wires everywhere making things safer and have a better appearance. Wireless technology has helped considerably in the digital divide, as it is even better for poorer countries as they do not have much electricity and plug sockets and this allows them to use technology with minimal use of plug sockets which are limited in their countries anyway making life much easier for them.
I think the growth of wireless technology will certainly make a significant difference in toadys world but it ceratinly will not solve any problems but may just help them on their way to a solution. I think it will certainly have affect on the social side of things but not necessarily for the good, as it will become a sort of competition between people over who has the best technology and so forth. I also do not see that it will dramatically improve eductaion as they would be able to use the technology for education whether it was wireless or not. However. it will also do not harm to it either. Wireless products come at a much higher price, ovbiously effecting our economy, which isnt good. I think cultural it will not be good as it means that the digital divide is getting wider and wider as the poorer countries cant even afford the basics not matter about wireless.

Reducing the divide

The advantages for the developed world briding the digital divide are that it is better for everyone and makes us globally better prepared for things. It will also give other and less developed countries the use of equipment that can help them find out when hurricanes and earthquakes are near in order to alert people this would be great and cause less upset and problems for the world. It also gives them the chance to learn about more things using the internet and so forth, this is better for the world also.
There are of course many advantages for the poorest of countries. It means they will be able to educate themselves better and once again be better prepared in a time of crisis and just altogether be better off in their way of living as having technology will enable them to gain power and money hopefully.
I do not think Clinton was right as levels of internet access can be seen as more useful than levels telephone access and i do not see that any of this will affect income equality. There is no reason why it should, anyway.
I think charities such as computer aid do more good than harm, as they try and most often succeed in putting new technology and mainly computers into poor countries. The problem is there are so many poor countries that do not have technology that it is impossible for them to get computers for all of them, however, they certainly try and have already made a significant difference.
