unit 14 d2

My protocol I used was Bluetooth, there are many positive and negative points to do with Bluetooth.

  • The positive points are:
  • - It quick and easy
  • -you can be at other ends of a room and it will still send
  • -should send through fine
  • -its free to use

  • However the negative points are:
  • -It can sometimes take ages depending on the memory span on your phone
  • -It wont send if your too far away in distance
  • -It can take ages for you to find the pair you want
  • -On some phones you need a code to pair with someone else ( which takes time)


other than bluetooth if you have a smartphone like a iphone you can click share a contact and then send it through either email or text

iPhone-the iPhone is very good as it comes with 3g  so you can access the internet and download music and apps where ever you are. The bad thing though the more apps and music you start to download and more memory you use up  the battery won’t last very long. Overall i think it still a very good phone.

any laptop-Getting a basic laptop would only be good if you only wanted to use stuff like word and power point, but because it is a basic laptop the battery life properly wouldn't be very good on it. anything more than power point and word and programs like that also a longer battery life  you would need a more advanced laptop. Over all i think a basic laptop is only good for short term use.
Any iPod Is alright if you only want to put music on it off iTunes. But  if you want internet apps and a camera, you would need a more advanced iPod. Over all i think the basic iPod would be alright if you used it at work for music so it wouldn't matter if it got broke.


tablet fire-Is like a iPad mini just alot cheaper which would be good for journalist because if it got broke it wouldn't matter as much.It also has internet connection and an app store and you can download books onto it. But it doesnt have a very big memory or long battery life. Over all i think the tablet fire would be good for use at work but you would be better off with an iPad when your at home.

You can put passwords on your laptop phones etc so if someone did steal it they couldn't get on to anything.Also you can get tracking devices that you can install on to your computer if it gets robbed and you can see where it is on your phone like on the iPhone your can download the app that connects to the tracker downloaded to the laptop.

the law for example that the school uses is that the school have Sims for our data and all the medical history, phone numbers,  attendance and private information and we have use the data protection act so if anyone tries to get in they'll be punished for it so its exactly like loosing your phone and someone using or taking all your data out of it so they could get punished for it

This shows how much it costs for bt wi-fi and if you phone them up you can use it anywhere by logging in and it costs nothing so it saves you buying a dongle for like £15 a month.

The coverage is good because you can use it anywhere in the uk if you sign in to your bt account on your phone/laptop/ipad and its not slow its fast.

the smartrphone and the laptop would be the same if you connect it to the same router or the same bt account.

protocols and devices keep data safe by password so they cant get in and lock them but also on computers there are accounts, firewalls and anti viruses but also turn off your bluetooth on your phone aswell or put a password on it do they cant get onto it because they can call people off your phone and use all your credit but there are the things like 3g Bluetooth and wi-fi that they can get in to to get your passwords but if you dont keep it safe they can control you by doing things like bank account hacking and taking money 

if you dont have a password on bluetooth people can get hold of it and hack it and start phoning people of it and use all your credit so there incharge of it now

if you dont keep your wi-fi protected they can use your internet for free so your paying for them

you should protect your 3g by puting a pass code lock on your phone so people cant hack into the things you use on your phone like using facebook

a) social life. Choose from: human interaction eg text messaging, multimedia messaging, emails, virtual offices; health issues eg posture, RSI, eye strain; environmental effects eg visual impact of phone masts, disposal of components; illegal imagery:


  1. human interaction when you stay on a thing your addicted to like an Xbox you forget how to speak and loose loads of knowledge and cant be bothered doing thing like going out .if i did that i would be on the xbox but i think my mum would take it off me because my eye site would get wierd and start forgeting things
  2. visual impact phone masts when its in a country side for example and they put a huge pole coming from the ground and if you buy a new house in the country side it destroys your view . if i lived there i would be complaining because i just bought it and i bought it because there was a nice view but the next day they put a pole infront of it

b) the law. Choose from: data security eg accidental loss, theft; hacking activities eg wardriving, piggybacking:


  1. data security when you put a password on it so no one can get on it e.g our sims network because it has our addresses and things on it. they could get into your accounts e.g bank accounts and take all the money out for example but alsothey can log into your computers and delete everything .if it was me and i didnt put a password and someone got on it , it would be my fault because i havent put a password on it
  2. piggybacking when your at home and you connect to someone else's internet so your paying for someone to use your internet and there using it for free without you knowing so thats why you put a password on it. if my next door neighbour uses my internet without me knowing i will get the blame for it because its my broadband

A local delivery company have been allocated money to improve their service.  Some of the money has been put aside for mobile technology approx. £500 per driver.  Make suggestions to the director of how he can spend the money, to make the delivery service more efficient.  Give examples how the mobile technology will help the business?


The delivery company can improve there company by buying each driver a ' lg nexus ' to know what deliveries that they have delivered and know what ones to send because it has a big screen and also so it sends the company what they have delivered instantly. it would be better because the scanning machines are slow what they used to sign on and it would be better to use a phone because you can call of it and scan of it and also sign on it because its touch screen. this device will also have gps to show where to go so it saves buying a sat nav and a phone but you will need the 3g connectivity to conect to the internet so you can use the gps

A photographer from the local paper is upgrading his laptop and he wants your advice regarding how he can send his pictures to the news desk effectively from either home (where he has broadband) or on location (maybe through his smartphone).  Suggest the technology that can be used and describe how it works.

email because you can send it there and then and it will be with you in a minute

icloud use this because you can send things from home and then log on to your icloud and save it in your documents and also saves carrying things round like a laptop

multi-media message because you can send an image by your phone and it would be the same quality if its a good phone

when he has to use wi-fi at home he has to connect to his broadband and then to the internet.

3g is when you out and about and you have your laptop you can plug in your phone to your laptop and use the internet of your phone which is called personal hotspot or you can buy a network dongle from a network provider e.g o2 , which is when you connect to the dongle then the internet

The common things with using blog sites are that they can read your work and just copy it down and if you get viruses you can use the Norton security to protect your computer from viruses but also anyone can email you saying anything they want but that email can contain a virus. to also be on the safe side limit your blog to so many people and also only let your friends visit your website or blog.
Also that you make sure you make a secure password and log out when you finish. 
You should clear your history so that they cant see what you've been on and also don't make people authors because they can hack your account and do what they want .
only make people authors if you know who they are so they can comment on your work.
log out when you finished so people cant get hold on your computer to copy things.
restrict friends so the people you don't want viewing cant view it

describe some threats and risks about ict based communication

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
