Unit 1 M2

Threats and risks likely to arise from using IT based communication within a large company.


Some threats form using IT based communication in a large company is that you can get a virus this would be very bad for your computer, if you had a virus it could affect some of the computers within the large company you work. There is also little risks like if you forget your password this obviously can be fixed easily but can hamper employees. Another problem is that if you are hacked then there would be serious problems as people would see key information and possible company secrets.  Most threats are caused by people trying to hack into the companies computers or if a virus gets in this is why it is important to have up to date and effective security.

Risks And Safety Issues With Social Networking Sites


There are some issues with social networking sites a few are problems with safety. Some issues are that with social networking sites such as Facebook are prone to having advertisements and sometimes pop ups this is a problem as some links and pop ups cause viruses but sometimes that cannot be prevented but something that can be prevented is the amount of people that give crucial information out such as : if they  are going to be on holiday or some company information sometimes you just need to think about what you are typing and the possible repercussions and safety issues and that would rapidly decrease. You should also not click on links unless you know its ok or you might face a virus. There are also people who are key loggers who when you have clicked a link can see what you are typing so they can see information about you like pin codes and passwords, this can be prevented by not clicking on unfamiliar advertisements or websites.

       Why Blogspot is an effective method of communication ?



There are many reasons why Blogspot is an effective method of communication, Blogspot is handy as it is accessible from a mobile device, this is handy as there are very few websites and blogs that have this capability. Your uploads and work can also be seen this is handy in a school or work situation, it would be far more handy to use Blogspot than Facebook. A very good feature is that you get email notifications to let you know about changes on your Blogspot and if someone has uploaded or commented on a video or on your website. Another good point is that it is easily accessible at home/work or on the move this makes Blogspot a good website and an effective method of communication and far superior then other blog sites.

Unit 14 M3

Unit 14 M3

There are many mechanisms put in place to combat and control the likely hood of some off the illegal occourences in P6 happening
Some mechanisms put in place are WiFi's are equipped with there own individual password so the likely hood of piggy backing is next to none the only way is if you hacked the password. If you have a password you can also prevent war driving.
The way to stop phone hacking is to change the password this is how the scandeled occoured as some of the passswords where 0000 or 1234 so if you change it then there is less of a chance of being hacked.
If you check your phones and run regular scans and make surwe no one can hack into your phone your data will also not be stolen.

Unit 14 D2

I used Bluetooth in P7 because even though it is slower it is more effective and it always goes through as long as you give it  time another good aspect is that its free but there are a few negative point such as you cannot take the phones far away from each other so you are limited to what you can do until it sends but it is the easiest way for begginers as it is simple and you don't have to do too much.

Unit 14 M2

Unit 14 M2

The main difference between 3G and WiFi is the speed and signal strength, WiFi is usually a lot faster and therefor is easier to access the internet and emails although the further you are away form the WiFi connection there is more of a chance of 3g should be used, 3g is also good as it is good as you never loose signal but it is a lot slower. There is also a variation in cost 3g cost 80p from Vodafone obviously it can vary but this is a standard cost where as Wi-Fi is free to send picture messages which is a significant advantage.

Unit 14 P3


WiFi: WiFi is very helpful for most people as you can access the internet wirelessly this allows you to access all the internet has to offer, WiFi can be used in any device that has the ability to access the internet such as: Mobile phones, Ipods, laptops and on tablets. They are helpful as you can assess them from a good distance away.

Sms: this is used in text messaging it simply stands for short messaging service, it is manly used in mobile phones but there are websites where you can SMS your friends.

3g : this is when you can access the internet without being in a WiFi area this does cost more but is more helpful because no matter where you are you can access the internet you don't have to be in a hot spot you could be at home or on the go and you can access the internet.

Bluetooth : Bluetooth is a way of sending something without using a picture message  this is helpful because it does not cost anything but the downside is that it is slow and the picture can be distorted.

GPS :Gps is helpful as it is never offline and you can often get a good signal this is why it is used in mobile phones and satnavs most notibly in satnavs because this is where it is used the most.

The best way to learn is to be practical and learn whilst you do things this is more affective as you learn more about your mobile device, it may be hard at the begging but this will benefit you in the long term.

Unit 14 P1


Laptop
This laptop would be good for a builder because it is strong and has a good battery life. It also is easy to send in-voices to companies to give them the infomation. 

Tablet
This ipad 2 is good for a journalist because it has 3g so you can connect to the internet from anywhere, i-cloud for setting up a folder for other people to see, creating a newspaper write up and finally it has camaras to capture the image you want.

Mp3
This mp3 player is good for a factory worker to keep in your pocket listen to music as you walk around and do your work and it will make time go by quicker.

Mobile Phone 

The Samsung Galaxy SII is a sensible option for a student it is not to expensive and has very good internet, fast and usually has a very good signal.

Unit 14 D1

\


Htc Specs:
4.7inch screen
highly responsive touch screen
8mp camera
6 hour battery life
I also think that the HTC sensation xl is a very good phone and it could also be used by the student but I chose the Samsung galaxy s2 as the battery last longer so the student can access the internet while he has long days at school but otherwise they are very similar.


 nokia tablet specs:
3 hour battery life
width 3inches
bluetooth

I think the nokia tablet could also be used by the reporter because it is small light and would take photographs and he could just simply send them but the only problem is that the iPod 2 has a better camera and seeing how this is so important to the photographer I chose the ipad 2


 Ipod touch specs:
highly responsive touch screen
apple aplications
8gb memory
internet acssesable
camera
The ipod touch is a very good choice and I would have chosen this over the Sony walkman but I had to take the owner into consideration and the factory worker could be not very good with technology and the walkman has a larger memory


 Apple laptop specs:
camera
quick internet
you can link with other apple products
video calls
I chose the hp pavilion over the apple laptop as the pavilion its easier to work and it has a better camera for video calls this is overall better for the builder as he does not know a lot about technology
