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.
