How has ICT
impacted my life?
ICT has
impacted my life in a positive way. It has impacted me in a positive way
because I can now use Skype and see my friends and family from the outside of
this country for free. This is good because first I used to pay to call and it
costs a lot but now I can even see them and I can see them for free.
The other
impacts on my life were crime protection, travelling is easier now because we
have got an oyster card and also it is cheaper. Also shopping online is much
easier because now instead of carrying all the shopping from the shops to home
you could order it online and it will come to your house. Also there is new
navigation system so if you don’t know where you have reached like in a tube
etc…you could just take your phone out and find where you are and go where you
want. Also now if kids are out and they are not enjoying themselves then there
is always education on your phone. So they can go on there and search something
to study on the phone.
A primary,
economic impact is that shopping online so if you go to the shops; people could
steal your card or money so it is better to do shopping online also when you
shop you don’t even have to carry it all the way you can just sit at home and
wait for the shopping to arrive.
Another
primary impact is internet because we have to pay for it but it is still worth
it because whatever you type and search it will come straight away. Also
internet is a valuable source of commuting which you have to pay for in order
to use it.
Travelling
is easier because now we have got an oyster card so it is easier because we
don’t need a ticket for every time you get on the bus so it makes it easier
because you could just put as much money as you want and go where you want.
This makes it easy because if you are getting late for the bus, you don’t need
to first go to the shop and get a ticket because they could get late or the bus
could go so it is better to get an oyster card so even if your running late
then you could go straight in the bus.
It has a
positive impact on business because if they want they are sick and they can’t
go their job then they can’t access their work from home. This will make it
easier for the workers because as well as relaxing they can do some work.
A negative
thing is that you could get brain washed. This is because if you are on a
computer or phone then you keep playing then all you think about is games sand
you won’t think about anything else so you won’t remember anything about school
or college and also you could get lazy and just sit all day doing nothing and
get unhealthy because you don’t run around all you do is sit. So computer games
aren’t that good for you. However if we play it sometimes it is a good
entertainment but not always.
