The positiveness of “HI-TECH” schools nowadays.


The method used in schools currently is known as the “ Computer Aided Instruction”. First of foremost is said to be easy and inexpensive. It can be the combination of traditional education technique and the current technique. The CAI offers more advantage as students need not to bring heavy books to classrooms just a CD or flash disc most to most. Further more it encourages individual learning and motivations for students. As an example, individual students can learn at his or her own pace as for the motivation factors the CAI can turn practice into a game therefore encouraging practice of arithmetic skills, spelling,piano playing and other skills that are more tedious. It can also make children feel more comfortable. As well designed programs keeps up to a students pace. There have been research done that has proven that younger children and the ones with disadvantages of learning disabilities tend to give a positive response.
The addition of simulations and games made it more creative towards attracting children's attention. It gives the children's to actively explore artificial environments which could be artificial environment whether imaginary or realistic. The Microsoft office with the spreadsheets, word processor, and graphics programs are the tools used by students at schools now. schools also provide special tools in the laboratory where the laboratory sensing hardware can be used to collect scientific data of temperatures and convert to computer data. Collaborating writing groups ware that able students to work collectively on creative writing and editing projects. Music synthesizers with sequence and notation software for teaching music composition.
Teachers use computer and multimedia tools to create in class presentations. Example of slide shows. Students to can accesses to the works presented by their teachers through the Blackboard system on the net.
Virtual schools which are also known as distance education too gives opportunities to the people at remote areas to gain education. Telecommunication technology is very important for this process .Studies too show there is a great improve in the students grades. It shows that well designed interactive multimedia system can encourage processing and higher order thinking. Students that create interactive multimedia report tend to learn better. Students tend to be more fluent in speech and better in writing skills. Computers help prepare students to face the working world better. Positive changes happen as teachers gain experience through technology.

The positiveness of censorship


Censorship is defined as an act or practice of censoring and deleting parts of publication or correspondence or theoretical performance. In my point of view nowadays censorship plays a crucial and vital role in the world. Why is this so? Censorship is the back bone in creating a positive society.
It could be argued that we all have the rights and freedom of speech. Every issues have the limit and boundaries. In my point , censorship is required in all the fields. First of foremost the categories of people who use the Internet are not only adults there are children too. Each site a child is accessed too has negative sites. The most common one pornography,what are these children exposed to. That is why censorship is crucial here. The games nowadays are games or violence stimulating actions planted in these young children's minds. Games use to be fun but now it is all about shooting and killing. The language used are vulgar and improper. It is so rude, what kind of culture are the children in the current era being brought up in. What has happened to the moral values we were exposed to by simple cartoons from the television.
In a certain country's view the politician tend to censor “sensitive” issues. Why is this done ? It is very easy to answer that they just want to the keep the country running just the way it is. Why do they want to create more problems. That way censorship is good in my point of view.

The Users and Implication of teleconferencing.


Teleconferencing is defined as an interactive communication between two or more people at separate locations with the electrical mediums such as computers.There are many ways of teleconferencing . The example are through phone which is audio conferencing, computer conferencing and TV ( video conferencing).In the audio conferencing remote employees would dial up into a remote line that is usually attached to the phoneline in the office.If there is more than one person then the phone will be put on “ spaeker “ as for all will be able to communicate during that conference.Wherelse for video conferencing,it refers to flimming and beaming an image from one persons TV to anothers.It is the same more or less for computing conference too but most often instant messaging service is applied.

There would be more benefits compared to non-benefits when it comes to teleconferencing.It can save a great deal of money compared to spending it on flight charges,and furtehr more you would be punctual in getting thigs ordered as to not delays thing and finishing up faster.

Music is the beat of my heart and emotions.

I have always loved music since I was a child. As an Indian I have even taken classical dancing just to know the movement of the body according to the musics beat. No jokes it is not easy to coordinate wonder how our grandparents actually learn all these. Music is not yesterday or today in my point of view . It stars from the foetus in the mothers womb, we listen to most beautiful sound of music our heart beat and our mothers heart beat. Downloading from the net was never a good idea for me therefore I usually get through the mp3 player downloads.
I save all my song in a desktop in my laptop.It is named "Asus Musics".Then there are many types of songs from English rock, hip- hop to classic like Beethoven & Mozart opus, Indian cinema songs to classic melodies, Indonesian mostly like radja vs petepan rock music and Malaysian local songs, Spanish from J.Lo and Latin from Ricky Martin and Japanese it is actually endless since I love to admire music not concerning where it's from.
After I have open my "Asus Music" desktop I enter to the music folder . My songs are sorted according to the alphabetical order . All my songs from Indian to my Indonesian songs.Then I will just click on it and song start playing with the song title and the playback singers and so forth.This is how I sort my music collections.

Con's of Information Technology

Group name: LINUX

Group Members: Nethiyakalyani,Caryn Anne Santhana Dass, Vigneswari( Vicky), Narmmatha.


We as a group have agreed that Information Technology on a social and ethical scale brings more bad effects then good.First of all it is the invasion of privacy. Millions of people around the globe key in personal details of their life into the world wide web everyday, without thinking of its consequences. In fact, our information carries value.Telemarketers can hack into various accounts, checking your bank balabnce and targetting you as a potential buyer. Then they proceed to badger and harress you to buy their prouducts. This is an example of mthings they can do to you. In fact they coild do worst things like perhaps steal your identity. Have you ever considered that a person , any person could hack into your e- mail account and read all your mail?Hackers arev able to hack into bank accounts or important files just to make money.
Another negative activity widely done over the internet is the “pop up” icons. What are these pop up icons? Mostly advertisements and pornography websites. Since there is no age barrier towards th eusage of the net the ones who are easily influenced are pre-teens that is childrens within the age of 11- 15 years old.As we all know “ curiosity kills the cat” you can never tell that children will ignore colourfull and attractive advertisements. All these negetive effects just in one click.Such vulgarism and unethical behavior exposed to the chilren nowdays.All these is what leeds to social problem like teen- protitution and rape among teens.There is no moral values and these advertisements on the wibe makes one irratated, when you concentrating and keeping your eye like hawk on the work you are doing suddently out of the blues something just pop's up and distracts you. This is just so annoying.
Illegal downloading also plays its own roles in the concern of IT.By downloading illegal movies, songs, games and more. It gives a very bad respons to the people who invented it. For an example, the flimdom industries. If everyone just just downloads song and movies, the producers and music directors don't earn the modal and the money they deserve from their hardwork.If downloading illegally from the net goes on further. In future , the chance to get quality movies would no longer exist.
Nowadays, talking about bad impact of the IT would mostly root to the facts of copyright and infrigment which happens almost all part of the world. People tend to copyright music , articles, books which has been composed and published by illegal companies or co-opperations.They make use of this pathway to earn their money by selling copyrighted document illegally. Due to this scenario, the legal/origanal oweners lose their rights, business and have to face a lot of consequences toward their own poperties.
As a conclusion, it could be said that IT on the whole bring a lot of negative influence and effects towards the current society.

What do you miss the most if you don't have IT ?

There are so many forms of information technology gadgets available in the market now days. We can take an example of plasma screen television, refrigerators with television, and hand phones but are these important for us to continue our daily lifestyle? In my point of view the most important information technology gadget is the discovery of hand phones. It used to be an instrument for the business orientated class but now from a pre-school to an elderly grandmother knows the importance of hand phones. Half of the human population owns their own hand phone, which makes it the most widely used electronic device in the world.

Hand phones has made it easier for us to go on with our daily chores. The hand phone is important to young children as parents know about their young ones well being. Parents can call their children from time to time to check on them. For an example it would easier for children's to call and inform their parents if they are having extra classes instead of the parents driving all the way to school for no vain just waiting for hours and building up their tension which would most likely create misunderstanding between the parents and child.

Walkman and Disc man used to be the "in" gadgets for teenagers but now with the creation of Walkman phones just can't be separated from the youngsters. All is available in the hand phones from fashion buzz to the latest musics in MTV and channel V. Teenagers are so in tuned with the latest form of hand phone series.That we can even see these in our own campus most of my classmates own the Walkman hand phone by Nokia and Sony Ericsson. The most common sentences from them would be "What would I do without my hand phone". From the campus till we reach home they will be listening to the downloaded songs. Even movies and football matches can be viewed through the hand phone. Just imagine a television, a radio and further more not leaving the short messaging system(SMS). Compared to the amount we talk to each other I think we tend to SMS each other more often.

Hand phones comes with GPS system currently. This is the best part of the hand phone for me. It is so useful, especially when people tend to travel. This makes it easier to find out where we are. The tendency to get mislead or lost would be rare. This GPS system tells in specific how to get to the particular place or destination by foot or by car. It would actually tell us verbally to make a turn to the right or left. Even if we are too fast on the road in our car it would alert us that we are exceeding the speed limit given.

Last but not least we are even able to excess to the Internet through the hand phone.We can actually send mails and chat we our family members or friends. And all this in a slim, sleek sized gadget also small and portable. What would happen if this did not exist? It is unimaginable. It would be really difficult to go on without my hand phone and I would miss that the most.

Hot Chocolate

Hot chocolate is the best drink ever. The word chocolate itself is just mouth watering. The experience of sipping it is just can't be described with words. So hot and so relaxing.
