Contemporary issues in ICT
ICT now plays a big part of everyday life. Since its introduction, ICT is gradually improving. ICT are now use in different areas of our life, in school or education, in trains etc and in government too. In the last couple of months or so, ICT has been making noise through the news, bad or good, and I will analyse these news to give more insight about ICT and what it does.
ICT now plays a big part of everyday life. Since its introduction, ICT is gradually improving.

In the last couple of months or so, ICT has been making noise through the news, bad or good, and I will analyse these news to give more insight about ICT and what it does.In this news, they are arguing that with better use of information technology in England’s hospital, it could prevent 16,000 deaths a year. One of the systems they recommend hospitals need to use is a computer reminding nurses or other member of staff when to give patients their drugs. Evidence suggests that hospitals may miss one dose in every five and I think by using this system, it would reduce errors and the timing of delivering patient’s drugs would be perfect. With the number of errors decreasing, more life could be saved. Reducing errors is not the only feature this “system” has; it also generates alarms when patient’s heart rates etc changes and more. The hospitals main objective is “to unleash a revolution of information throughout the NHS, so that everyone benefits from a modern, responsive service,"
This shows how ICT can be a good help not just for us well and sick free people but also for people at the hospitals. This could potentially be a big break through on ICT being use in hospitals; this could lead to ICT being use in more variety of ways to help the nurses, doctors and the patients.
BlackBerry Messenger shutdown rumour spreads in London riots Windows smashed, cars and streets are burned, group of people out at night and people panicking, this is what local people from London experienced and encountered. Riots in London broke out couple of months ago and it spread out so quickly that most shops got looted before the police can do anything about it. The police were wondering how it spread out so quickly and how a big group of people can unite and cause mayhem so easy and rapidly. This is where the use of ICT comes in, the rioters or the leader of these different groups just easily contacted people to join them. By just using a mobile phone, simple text or a simple blackberry messenger text or by a small twit on twitter, people are all together. This show how powerful ICT can be and there is no doubt that ICT is very helpful but in this case ICT has let us down and maybe we should just stop developing and live life simpler.
This is an evidence that ICT, if use badly can cause havoc and big problems in a city. This is just a start and polices and the government should take this as a warning on what could come up next.
Making the London Olympics technology fit together
Technology is key aspect not just in a good Olympic but in every sport. London Olympic committee is making sure that technology will not let us down and that it will play its part accurately. Technology is very useful in making big decisions in an event, a close 100m sprint finish and just a quick video review or a photo finish would solve the problem. The way they show the event is also part of the technology or ICT, better quality of technology and more the audience will enjoy it.
This is shows how important ICT or technology is these days and how it can help to improve a particular sport and make it more entertaining and fair.
3D learning tools positive for pupils, says study
ICT plays a big role in education and in this news they are trying 3d tools to help students learn. They have found out that it improves test results by an average of 17%. With the test results improving, student’s behaviour also improves and student pays more attention with this tool as it grabs their attention and carries on till the end.
I think this is clever idea that obviously works with the results they’ve got. With 3d, you focus only on what you are watching and nothing else, you cannot get distracted. This helps the students learn, make teachers job a bit easier and this also helps the school to get better results. Overall it’s a win win situation for both students and schools.
Has the iPod made us anti-social?
IPods are created to entertain and make our life more colourful. By just pressing a button, your mood can change. Music can dictate our mood, calm, energetic, sad or happy. This news argues that IPods are complete opposite of what said. They argue that IPods makes us anti social, which can be true in some aspect. When we listen to music we block out the rest of the world. Listening to music is our time to reflect our life and just be on your own, it isolates us from everyone else and due to this, it does make us anti social but not in a bad way. I would also argue that, does watching TV make us anti social? Does
This shows the good and maybe bad side of IPods. It just depends on how you use it and how you portrait “anti social”. I think sometimes that it’s best to be “anti social” and just to be by ourselves this enable us to learn more about ourselves.
Who are the jail breakers?
Jail breakers or hackers are common in ICT and this is the biggest problem ICT encounters every day. Hackers are very clever people and everyone should be take notice of them and be aware at all times when using ICT. Hackers are around 24 7 and this causes concerns to people especially if they are using online banking, buying online etc. These causes the companies to invest more money enable to stop these hackers and guarantee customers that their sites are safe.
This is the bad side of ICT. This shows that ICT is not always a safe environment and that people should be wary of what they are doing at all time. Hackers should also be a sign of warning for big companies that they should invest more on security of their own websites to make sure that no hackers can get through.
