you are and you can extend your time out.

Facebook or you tube.

•You can talk to people who live in a different part

of the country.

SOCIAL IMPACT OF MOBILE PHONES

•If you want a newest mobile phone out they

cost a lot of money.

•If you have a contract phone or have to top

up all the time its expensive.

•Your phone may be stolen or cause you to be

mugged.

•If you are focusing on your phone and not

concentrating you might get knocked or run

over.

You can talk to your friends for free.

You can upload your photos and videos to

let your friends see them and you can tag

them in photos.

You can talk to many people at the same

time but you cannot do that on a mobile

phone.

You can catch up with old friends and

meet new people that have the same

interests. This would be difficult to do and

would cost a lot without the internet.

to.

miserable and make them cry.

Online banking has became very popular as

E – commerce has changed the way you can

shop instead of going to shops you can go

online and buy most things this helps people as

not everyone has time to go out but they have

time to buy things online as it does take much

time. If what you buy is not what you want in

the end you can send it back just like going to

an ordinary shop.

ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE USE OF ICT

Ebay /Amazon has changed the way that the

internet works as many people would usually go

out and have to go to many different shops to

find something for your every need, whereas

most things as you can search things it doesn’t

take long to do. On the websites you can also bid

on things or buy them automatically by bidding

on them you can get the best price for the things

you need.

ICT has affected jobs as it has created many

jobs such as technicians, programmers, web

designers and developers this has helped

people come into new jobs as they need to

keep making new technology and keeping the

computer to the best that it can be. Some of

the jobs created are to make new programs for

the computer some to fix the computer when it

is broken or that there is a problem and others

to make new computers with more technology

on them.
