USING MOBILE PHONES IN PUBLIC.

The Pros and Cons

Pros


Mollie Phone can interference in places such as the hospital and on air plans it affects the functions of delicate instruments which is quite serious.
Speaking on the phone whiles driving have been banned in many countries as a study taken in 1997 provided that   talking on the phone while driving quadruples the risk of an accident  which is  nearly equal to the danger from driving when drunk.

Many people go to places such as libraries specifically to focus and do work. 
Often phone users will multi-task  attempting to carry on a conversation while using an ATM or completing a store transaction. Their divided attention becomes an obstruction to the cashier and an inconvenience to those behind them, who must wait longer.Which can be come annoying.

Others attend church or religious services for time to worship and reflect.
 People who use their Phones in such a setting distract others.
 When they have paid for a nice restaurant meal, restaurant-goers feel entitled to soft conversation and a relaxed atmosphere in which to unwind. Some cell phone chatter remains inappropriate for anyone to overhear, especially young children.


Cons

Some argue that having 911 available at the touch of a button is critical to maintaining personal security. Mobile phone bans impede drivers' ability to report an accident, road rage incident, medical emergency or crime. Drivers assert the importance of calling for directions if lost or receive help if their car breaks down.
Genuine emergencies do occur, and some calls truly cannot wait. People who have sick or elderly family members, parents expecting an important call from their child, and those in the midst of a crisis believe it's acceptable to leave their phones on in public.Which I deem is understandable. 


Some Americans believe they have a right to talk on their phones under the First Amendment, and that Moblie phone bans intrude on their personal freedom. As they pay a high monthly price for this communication option, they believe they can use the devices wherever and whenever they choose.



SOCIALISING ON THE INTERNET.

What is IM (Instant Messing) and the Advantages of it

Instant messing is the involvment of people talking to eahother in a real time by typing and receiving messages.
IM is a form of real time-communication between two or more people which enables them to have a virtual conversatrion. This is quite popular as it allows quick and easy communtication in real time, people are able to collaborate and discuss their views, the users gets to decided  who they wish to engage with and they are able to set a status so that people know if they are available to talk or their busy, you can use through cartain moblie phones, PDA and other portable device. 

The Disadvantage 
To use IM you would need internet access. If the connection is slow this impacts on the real-time feature also the over use of IM could result in less face-to-face contact with people.
There is lack of emotion so people may misunderstand informations. Writing skills can be affected if the individual uses a lot of text language, the thought of typing my be tiring and you prefer chatting instead. 


What is VoIP(Voice over Internet Protocol)
 This is similar to making a phone call but rather its on a computer, it's also abit like the IM but uses sound instead of text.
This can also be use on a mobile, so can it save an individual from huge phone bills.
To use a VoIP on a computer the user would need headset or speakers and a mictophone, and a webcam if they wish to stream video to other caller.
Mobile phones must have 3G or mobile internet to connect to internet.
If the landline phone is plugged into the internet router this is good as you can make calls free enven international calls.
VolP services providers charge a membership or monthly fee.

Disadvantages
The disadvantages of a VoIP is reliability,VoIP is dependant on wall power, Your current phone runs on phantom power that is provided over the line from the central office. Even if your power goes out, your phone (unless it is a  cordless) still works. With VoIP, no power means no phone. A stable power source must be created for VoIP.
VoIP is susceptible viruses and hacking, although this is very rare and VoIP developers are working on VoIP encryption to counter this.System can crqash in the middle of an important call.
Emergency 911 calls also become a challenge with VoIP. As stated before, VoIP uses IP-addressed phone numbers, not NANP( North American Numbering Plan) phone numbers.There's no way to associate a geographic location with an IP(Internet protocol) address. So if the caller can't tell the 911 operator where he is located, thenthere's no way to know which call center to route the emergency call to and which EMS should respond



BUYING A COMPUTER SYSTEM - SMALL BUSINESS HOLDER.

If i were a small busniess holder i would require a desktop computer, printer, scanner, fax machine and a laptop as these are all vital requiremtns to run a busniess in the modern day.

Desktop computer - this is a vital bit of machineary as this is where most of the documents will be stored.

Printer - this is also a key item as any urgent emails, signs or important documents that need manually documenting instead of digitally on a computer system can be printed off.

Scanner - a scanner is always needed as if a print only email or document needs storing on the computer system it can be by scanning into the computer system and saving.

Fax - although it may be a little old fashion a fax machine is always required! This is a secure and confirmed way of sending documents instead of email or post.

Laptop - a laptop would be required for a small business holder as when their on the move or need to visit clients etc they can take their documents, emails and saved items from their desktop with them.
