Online entertainment.
The online entertainments that I have used are:
ð Games
The purpose of games online is so that when you are bored or you’ve got nothing to do then you can entertain yourself by playing a game online you can also choose what category game you want from the following:
ü Arcade
ü Adventure
ü Racing
ü Puzzles
There are many more categories to select from.
other online entertainment i have used are:
ð Events
The purpose of having an events theme online is so that people who want to know about the latest things that have happened or that might happen can find out. If it’s an event that is going to take place then the person will know and remember that date. This entertains them so in their free time they can go out or just read about all the events at home.
ð News
This is online so that everyone from Adults to Children can be aware of what is going on around the world. For example if something bad had happened and a description was given of the person or the vehicle people then can stay aware of it. On one hand it is online entertainment because sometimes the news they give out is interesting but on the other hand it’s a serious thing and its online for the benefits of other people.
ð Videos
The purpose of videos online is because if you miss out on your favourite soap or film you can watch it online on the official website. You can also watch the news on some websites such as the news round website.
ð Celebrity Gossip
The point of celebrity gossip being online is for entertainment of people because they get to read personal things about celebs. They only want to know about this because they are people who are on TV starring in every programme. The big reason is because they are famous.
ð Radio
Radio is online for entertainment reasons as well because what some people like to do is listen to the radio while they are working and not everyone has a radio right next to their PC.

Activity 20
investigate downloading goods and services
The different types of things I have downloaded from the internet are:
ð Songs
ð Song lyrics
ð Exam papers
ð Free virus scans
ð Computer games
ð Download the latest Real Player
ð The latest Window Media player
ð Download some movies
The reason to download all these online and not go to the shops and buy them is because it is easier to do it online and it saves you time. Even though it is illegal to download things like songs of the internet it is free and it downloads the documents and products very quickly. If you go to the actual shops then you have to pay for song DVD’s like about £5.00 whereas doing it at home is completely free and it does not require you to move or walk to shops. Sometimes the video shops or the games shops are far and it takes long to walk there. The downloading service has fulfilled its purposes because it finds you what you want to download and if they haven’t got what you are looking for they will bring up related searches so either way they give you options of downloading what you want.
Problems you can have:
ð Sometimes there are some problems that can occur while you are downloading things if the internet
ð The server might have an error or the website
ð Sometimes you think you’ve got the file you want but in actual fact the file is different
ð The downloading can go up to half-way and stop because of errors in the file you are trying to download.
ð Sometimes the connection freezes and your whole computer stops which will mean you have to start downloading your file again.
ð The graphics sometimes will be missing because the website might have some problems with it.

Activity 17
use a learning object
For this I had to use the simple demonstration flash viewlet ‘formatting using the toolbar and format menu.
I had to evaluate this as a way of helping you learn.
It’s a very good website and I think it would be particularly fun for students as they get to watch videos and if they don’t understand anything they can watch the video again.

use a simulation
I had to visit net frog this site shows you a step-to-step of how to dissect a frog.
It is a good website as it prepares students to dissect a frog. It has videos and images of what to do and what order to do it in. a fun way for students to learn about frog dissection before actually doing it and it is better to watch a frog dissection before performing it yourself.
it prepares students in a very good way.
http://frog.edschool.virginia.edu/Frog1/organs/home.html
it teaches you that online simulations are very helpful because if you don’t understand anything the first time round you can skip back and watch the video again and again before you u actually dissect a frog yourself. It gives you practise and it tells you what to expect once you have dissected the frog which can be quite mucky.

Activity 13
investigate online banking.
The purpose of online banking is to allow customers to conduct financial transactions on a secure website operated by their retail or virtual bank, credit union or building society.
The target audience to online banking is mostly adults who have bills to pay and if they want to do it more easily and faster they can use the electronic way of online banking. It is also for people who cant get out of their homes for example old people.
The advantages of online banking are:
You can check your balance whenever you need to, even if the bank is closed.
Not only that, but you can pay your bills online as well, which saves both time and money on postage. You can buy financial products and apply for loans online, and in doing so, you can compare your options to ensure that you get the best possible services. You can even buy insurance online through Internet banking services. Stocks and bonds and other investments can be managed with online banking from your home or office independent of a financial intermediary like a stockbroker.
I don’t think that online banking can be improved because it is ok the way it is as it is easy and fast to use and there are so many advantages as well. Overall I don’t think any improvements could be made.
the disadvantages are:
Online banking sites can also take a while to start up and can be difficult to learn at first
Some banks require customers to provide some form of photo identification in addition to signing a form at one of their branches.
The main issue for most people is that of trust. They may wonder if their transaction went through successfully or if they clicked on the correct button

2. the time in delivery could take a long time as they have so much deliveries to be responsible
of.
3. if eBay start highing the prices of their goods they will loose customers and loos out on their money.

Above is a website which I found that has a discussion on digital divide. I found this discussion by using Google groups. I think this discussion is really useful because it points out the good and bad points of the digital divide. Benefits of using Usenet it that whatever you want to find information about you just need to type it in and you will have the information there. I think it fulfils its main purpose to the very end because it does have information that is useful.

Activity 4
ACTIVITY 4- Exchange documents by email
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a set of standards for structuring information that is to be electronically exchanged between and within businesses, organizations, government entities and other groups. The standards describe structures that emulate documents, for example purchase orders to automate purchasing. The term EDI is also used to refer to the implementation and operation of systems and processes for creating, transmitting, and receiving EDI documents.Electronic mail, often abbreviated to e-mail, email, or originally eMail, is a store-and-forward method of writing, sending, receiving and saving messages over electronic communication systems. The term "e-mail" (as a noun or verb) applies to the Internet e-mail system based on the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, to network systems based on other protocols and to various mainframe, minicomputer, or internet by a particular systems vendor, or on the same protocols used on public networks. E-mail is often used to deliver bulk unsolicited messages, or "spam", but filter programs exist which can automatically block, quarantine or delete some or most of these, depending on the situation.
