ICT in the Community :: ICT Essays

ICT in the Community I live in the partnership of Maidenhead in the south-east of England. ICT is phthisisd everyday and without it the community would start to break down and the way of life would run unt gray slower. Cyber cafes The cyber caf in Maidenhead is perfect for tourists that take digital photos and want to take them to family and friends, also if a tourist wants to contact family and friends it is probably cheaper to email them from a cyber caf that having to use the call up to call an some other country although using the phone is quicker than email. Also people from within the community squirt use cyber cafs to do just about anything they would need to on a computer. They can read emails, send emails, browse the web and create documents. almost cyber cafs also offer scanners, printers and photocopiers although the cyber caf in Maidenhead only offers a black and white printer. The down side with using a cyber caf is the determine t o use the facilities in Maidenhead it costs 5.00 per hour. Websites and Forums The Maidenhead Rugby federation has there own website which keeps fans up to encounter with the team and how things ar going, this also gives contact details to get hold of people such as the manager and coach, so now they dont clear to put adverts or news show in the maidenhead advertiser which not only costs only it only gets publish weekly so information could be old or irrelevant. The website also offers a forum for fans to talk to each other about the team. The good thing about this website is that it is kept up to date by people that work along side the team so the information posted onto the site is true. The down side with the forum is that forums can go down and sometimes there can be problems with logins. The website could have the choice to have a live chat but with this messages are not save where as with a forum
