ICT and You :: ICT Essays

For this work, I am going to write about how I use ICT in my everyday life. I will be looking at how I use ICT at Home and at School. I will also identify how I use ICT for: - > My own personal use (this is when I use it just for me) > Social use (this is when I use the ICT with other people) PC Technology ------------- I use Microsoft Excel a lot, which helps me to do graphs in science for coursework and I also use it at home for sorting my pocket money and spending so I am organized with my money and don’t overspend. It is very easy to use and your work is always very neat and presentable which is important for my coursework. I also use Microsoft Word for many things in school, these include: writing out coursework, completing homework and English essays. Microsoft word offers a great easy program, which is easy to use and also you can put text, pictures and photographs onto a word document. I like using MS FrontPage to design and make web pages and websites this can be done personally for me or socially for a group of people. Designing website can be relaxing and stress free or can be frustrating and stressing, all depending on what type of web site it is. Internet The internet is very helpful to me in school because I can search up useful and useless information an instant using search engines like â€Å"google† the downsides to sites like these is, you have to be specific otherwise you could end up having thousands of pages of junk for example if your searching for the official Manchester United site and only type in â€Å"Manchester United† you will get any pages appearing containing the words â€Å"Manchester† and â€Å"United† you can get around about 3,460,000 results, when the words â€Å"Official Manchester United Football Club Website† only pages containing them words are found, there are around about 69,400 results just by being a bit more specific. I use this at home, personally to keep up-to-date with breaking news of my favorite football club and in school personally for my business coursework. At home I enjoy being on MSN messenger to talk to friends and Family worldwide, msn is good because it’s faster than email and cheaper than phone calls, the disadvantage is that my internet connection depending where I am and what time of the day it is could be slow I have a 576k ADSL modem so there’s no worries for me but slower internet connections like a 23.3k modem could have a delay or even a bad
