Study Notes
ICT Applications
- This chapter covers various applications associated with ICT.
- Examples include:
- Communication (newsletters, posters, websites, multimedia presentations, media streaming, e-publications)
- Modelling applications (financial, civil engineering, flood water management, school management systems, online booking systems, banking applications, computers in medicine, information systems, expert systems, computers in the retail industry, recognition systems, traffic management, weather forecasting, 3D printing, OMR, QR codes, OCR, satellite systems, GPS, GIS, and media communication)
Communication Media
- Newsletters and posters can be produced easily using a word processor.
- Often include photos.
- Websites offer worldwide advertising capability, eliminating the need for paper and physical delivery.
- Cost of website development and maintenance can be high, including safety from hacking.
Mobile Communication
- Mobile phones communicate via networked towers.
- Signals can weaken at cell boundaries, requiring adjacent cells to pick up the signal.
- Satellite technology is used for calls between different countries.
- Mobile devices connect to the network via SIM cards or wireless internet, providing SMS messaging, phone calls, VoIP, video calling, and internet access.
- SMS messaging is fast and inexpensive.
- Predictive technology speeds up typing on mobile phones.
Multimedia Presentations
- Multimedia presentations use video and sound to engage audiences, often supported by a multimedia projector.
- Potential advantages include:
- Enhances engagement with the use of audio and visual effects.
- Supports interactive hyperlinking for presentations, providing easy access to additional materials or resources.
- Flexible, allowing adjustments to presentation content based on specific audiences.
- Potential disadvantages include:
- Increased costs of special equipment.
Media Streaming
- Media streaming is the continuous transmission of video or audio files from a remote server.
- No need to download the entire file ahead of time.
- User experience is directly dependent on a stable internet connection and speed.
- Streaming quality depends on the internet's speed and video quality.
E-Publications
- E-publications (e-books, digital magazines, digital newspapers, digital libraries) allow for easier page access and editing, and often cost less than print counterparts.
- Convenient download to devices connected to the internet.
Computer Modelling
- Simulations are computer-generated models used to study real-world systems.
- Modelling can prove useful for assessing safety, costs, and efficiency in situations like new construction or testing, before actual implementation.
- Example situations where models are often used include: personal finance, bridge and building design, flood water management, traffic management, weather forecasting
Computer Controlled Systems
- Robots are used frequently in manufacturing tasks from general operations to delicate ones.
- Robots are either managed via embedded processors, or linked to a computer system.
- Robots can perform multiple tasks efficiently through programming or operator guidance, thus enhancing productivity by being able to work in dangerous/harmful/inconvenient conditions.
- Examples of work performed by controlled systems include:
- Automating robotic tasks in warehouses to move goods.
- Spraying and welding bodywork on cars.
- Manufacturing parts of electrical good and microchips.
- Disadvantages of robotic operation include possible job losses and initial cost of programming and setup.
School Management Systems
- Systems manage various aspects of school operation, including student registration, attendance, and performance recording.
- Methods of tracking involve:
- ID cards with magnetic stripes to record attendance or track students.
- RFID tags on ID cards to improve accuracy and security.
- Biometric systems (fingerprints) to validate student attendance when crossing barriers.
- These systems allow for easier processing for both teachers (recording student information) and administrators.
Online Booking Systems
- Online booking systems allow for quick and efficient ticket and seat management.
- They offer advantages over paper-based systems by:
- Preventing double bookings.
- Providing immediate feedback.
- Offering 24/7 booking access.
- Enabling the use of special discounts and payment portals.
Banking Applications
- Automated teller machines (ATMs) offer convenient banking services outside of standard banking hours, including deposits and withdrawals.
- EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) allows for quick and secure transfer of money in cases of large transactions, salaries, or other.
- Banks use computers for transactions, including:
- Credit and debit card transactions
- Cheque clearance.
- Internet banking.
Recognition Systems
- Recognition systems commonly include:
- Optical Mark Recognition (OMR)
- Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
- Biometric recognition.
Satellite Systems
- Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are utilized for exact location determination, navigation of modes of transport, and route calculation.
- Other features of satellite systems involve media communication systems like satellite phones or television, and geographic information systems (GIS), which can map and analyze spatial and environmental data.
