spam texting

Tool man

I think that john can’t work properly as he takes too many things with him. It says he takes 2 hours a day and all Friday sorting his administration out. This is a lot of time working but not actually doing any actual work. I believe that technology would be of benefit to john as in what I will say in a few moments.

PDA – a personal digital assistant will be helpful to john as it will keep all of his contacts etc.. in a data log that can fit inside of his pocket. This reduces his admin time throughout the day and can spend more time doing other things.

GPS – global positioning system can help john out a lot due to him not buying maps all the time when they have new roads. GPS can also help him pout as it doesn’t consume time to read where you are, it shortens time between each place therefore giving him more free time.

A laptop – a laptop can help him out as he you can do almost anything on a laptop. From having a PDA on the laptop and he can also put a GPS on his laptop. His laptop can create all accounts of what he does and, with help from the internet, can look at all the tools that he needs and can look at all the latest prices and so can keep up to date very accurately instead of buying a book once a month or so.

If john likes the way he does things and feels that his time is well spent he can keep doing what he is doing and the way he is doing it. But I would go out and get these things myself as it saves a huge amount of time.

Activity 7 - finding relaible, valid information

Not all websites are true? Yes they are!!

Well that is what you would think. Why would someone spend their time to make something fake? I don’t really know the answer to that only that it happens. Some people make fake websites like a fake white house page or to make people think that there is a dog island.

Most fake websites can be put into some groups. Some just send you do random sites. Some try to upload viruses such as key loggers onto your computer, or some even try to make you subscribe to something that is not even real.

If people make fake sites for a laugh then there will be quite a few mistakes in the design. Examples of this would be that the font is not the same as the real website, the colour scheme is different, the pictures are not the same or even that the website has some content blocked.

For the sites that want you to download something or want you to subscribe may be done a bit more professionally.  The 1^st thing that would put you off is intuition. Do you think that you should download a file named ‘novirusesinthisdownload’, or do you want to buy free years’ worth supply of models cars? So obvious things will give it away biut if they don’t heres a few things that you should consider. Does the website use an incorrect URL, does it end in .gov/tv/co.uk/com, or something that you know about. Does it ask for you banking information. A real bank would never ask for your bank account Information or your debit card and PIN numbers via email. Check if it actually spells words correctly.  Aslo, check if the images are of top notch quality, if the pictures are in low resolution then don’t trust it, simple!

 

SMS - Has its time past?

 

I don’t believe that SMS’ing has become outdated at all. As the article above states, triple as many texts were sent last year compared to 5 years ago. Texting has reached its prime. Meaning that texting is already simple as it is and therefore any improvement on the recent technology won’t be in such demand as phones were when they 1^st came out. Texting is very easy as most recent technology has touch screens which shortens the time a lot to send messages compared to the old letters and numbers board.

Due to texting, people have created their own ‘language’ if you could call it that. When texting it makes sense to shorten words by taking out letters that you don’t sound in the actual letter and only use the key letters. Words like ‘LOL, GR8, BRB’/ these days everyone knows what these words mean, but earlier in time, this would’ve been a different language. Even though we used these words during texting, these words and phrases have become second nature to us now and we use them throughout everyday life.
