The social impacts of ict !

ICT is everywhere in the modern UK. It has affected the way we go about our daily lives. For example most people use mobile phones as an important part of their lifestlye. Aswell as that many computer users play online games for entertainment, espicially young children.
 Some people see this as a good thing as you can get things done quicker and easier using ICT. But some people say it is bad that we rely on ict for our lifes.


Here is a list of some things that are easier/ quicker to do by using ICT-
- You can do online shopping. This is good because if you are ill or unable to get out of the house you can get your shopping online and get it delivered to you.
- You can do online banking. This is also good because of the same reasons and also if you need your money in the bank by a certain time you dont have to worry about rushing around, you can just log on to your bank and put the money on your account.
-If you enjoy listening to your music you can download the songs you like onto your laptop/mobile phone/iPod and listen to it then. This is good because it is a quick way to get music on your devices.

Here are some reasons on why people think ICT is bad for the society-
- Although it is good to speak to people over social networking sites like facebook people use that all the time instead of going out and meeting people. This is bad because this means people are allways inside on their laptops and there not going out and getting the excersice they may need.
- Also some people say ICT is bad for the society because using social networking sites can sometimes result to fights breaking out between gangs. For example last year there was a whole bunch of riots. Some people said this was because of Facebook and Twitter.
