Mobile Working:method of working; employee works from home instant from the office
Bluetooth:A standaing for sending data using short-range radio signals, e.g. Teenagers sending photos/music by mobile phone
devices using this tool: Printers, digital cameras,laptop, mobile phone wireless headset for calls
Blackberry: A PDA(Personal Digital Assitant) Multiple uses; calling- recieving & out-going, Email,Internet,text messaging
Mobile Phones:calls;out-going and recieved, texting, music player, browsing on the internet
Nanotechnology:Scientific technology:not made yet set to transform lives. Nanometre 1/100,000 thickness of a human hair future use: Printable electronic circuits, personnel computers with the power of today's computer centres.
Topic 1
Robotics: Created for chores; lawn,guttters,vaccum,swimming pool Military- bomb disarment
Biotechnology:Biology technology- genetics molecular biology, cell bioology into use forms of ICT
Potential Ict usage
Wireless Energy: constant recharge limited time without charging. Witricity - wireless electricty charger
Novel User interface- Mobile small keyboard but Iphone touch screen meaning screen size is large taking space occupied by keyboard
Flexible screen:Milimetres thick and light. Making it easy to fold up/roll up. Use small amount of energy; original power last long means it good for the environment less recharging
WEB 2.0: acces to video, listen to radio due to highly improved data transmission speed. High speed internet access.
Topic 1
Smart cars:microships installed in cars to prevent accidents from happen due to human errors in traffic system
DNA- National database: purpose to prevent crime; make arrest offernders in jail, help offices in their investigations. Samples of DNA are taken and used in investigations and stored. Problems: Privacy: not everyone is a crinimal so not everyone' DNA should be stored, police have different opinion
Face recognition: uninsured drivers not on database DLVA, harder to find if license plate is put on the system & identify passengers. Existed system helps to find documents if a car is uninsured or is

Ethical
Personal time: use organisation resources for personal use e.g. emails
Monitor: organisation monitor employees use of internet
Help forums - students in colleges/Universities buy essays on topics + subjects online = cheating
Topic 1
Technical
Size of computer- microprocessors small size = portable devices
User System Interface: People want ability to communicate with computer Difficult with accuracy of speech recognition e.g.Iphione 4; don't understand Scottish accent
Battery life; devices need constant recharging= intro mircoships use litle power e.g. laptops run longer without use main power
Legal
Privacy: Britain toomuch technology feel like Big Brother- Heathrow T5 idea, identify passengers using finger printing= turns out illegal to do so
Internet: Unathorised permission to use wifi networks= access internet hacker use bandwidth divided amingst users.
Topic 1
Economic; Workforce:New generation built around ICT so need ICTsystem
R&D:Companies invest in new development take risk= possible outcome compete in area of expertise
Implications; Problems in society and potential abuse of technology
more dependence on ICT; workers uasge of ICT
Development of machines for common use:Robotics-cleaning devices e.g. lawn mower
improvement in health dept: database holding more key information & ICT controlled scanners prevent illness
Video 'happy slapping' posted on socil networking sites e.g. YouTube promoting cyber-bullying
Identify theft: High risk; credit/debit cards transactions online, shady retailer websites
Illegal sharing of copyright materials e.g. music/films
