korean Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 6. Socrates was illiterate and avoided the written word because he felt it weakened the mind. Similarly, many people today fear that we’re weakening our children’s minds by making them too dependent on computers and calculators. What do you think?10. Think about educational goals in relation to technology. What should people be able to do with no tools? What should people be able to do if they have access to pencils, papers, and books? What should people be able to do if they have access to computer technology?Can somebody help me with these questions? its for my homework but i cant understand anything...

SamWilson Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 i take ITGS aswell, crappy class.6. Socrates was illiterate and avoided the written word because he felt it weakened the mind. Similarly, many people today fear that we’re weakening our children’s minds by making them too dependent on computers and calculators. What do you think?-talk about text messaging and how its affecting writting in class and getting your point across to others, its become a secret language only few understand- talk about how MS word and other text editors automatically check spelling mistakes, when it comes time to writting formal letters etc we wont be ablke to write well written letters- we write on the internet in a very informal register. when writing to imporant people we will write also in an informal register cuz we're not used to formal register and that can affect how seriously we are taken by the readerthe other side-when taking notes in class it is much quicker to use slang and txt writing so notes can be taken quicker and their much more personal to the reader-in this day and age with all the technology we dunt need to know simplistic things such as writing properlly, we need to focus on the bigger issuesetc, etcsorry, i cant help with question 2. my minds not in the right place for tht one right now.the most important thing in ITGS is to pick a side, either you're for or against the statement, dunt mess around giving points for either side because it makes it seem like you dont know what you're talking about.

Why or why not?Health problems associated with mobile phones.I want to know more about P2P system.. How dos it works and is there any issue related to it?I did find on my own. I just want more opinions on it...Gracias..P2P is all about peer to peer connection and sharing of files. it connects to its network searching for a files just the one u search. then it looks for sources(number of usrs who hav the file and are online) then it begins downloading in bits to speed upthe download. issues related are about piracy of people's copyright files and also this new thing of e-books being the next digital piracy i.e videos, songs, picyures were being downloaded and now peole have also started downloading e-books wich is becoming the next level of piracy. It's like me trying to copy a file off your computer without permission using P2P. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

avrila Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 are all ITGS teachers bad? or is it just a mere coincidence?I don't think so. My ITGS teacher is really cool. In fact, I think she is the most sporting teacher that I ever had. You guys should meet her. She use to laugh a lot and had never scold anyone. She likes to tell her stories and experience. She have her own facebook. She is just nice and I like the way she teach. I haven't done my mock yet. It will be somewhere around March I guess.. For now, in ITGS we learn on system. There's a lot of system. My teacher said, we need to get familiarize with IT system as well as the social issues. Among the system that we are going to learn are such as:>P2P>Baggage Handling System>iPod>Online Job Search>Data logging>Data Mining>Health Monitoring Software (e.g Nx Opinion)>Online gambling>Bionics>E-billing>GPS>Computer Forensics>Online Medical RecordsBasically, teacher emphasize us to know about the definition, how it works, requirements, advantages, disadvantages, 3 social issues (+ve or -ve)It does help in the exam..

hamani Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I am having problems with Criterion P of the extension, what exactly must i write in it? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
avrila Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I just wanna share on how to answer question on social and ethical issue questions. The questions are usually in paper 2 and carries about 10 marks. Usually, to get good marks, you should have provide at least 3 issues. The issue should be well elaborate and precise. So, how to write a good issue? This is how my teacher taught our class. It might be useful to you guys too. So, when writing your answer, divide it into 3 parts:1. Outline:mention the stakeholder and must have a specific situation2. Expand: Elaborate more on the outline by giving examples and emphasize the problems.3. New Dimension: Describe either the impact of the problems or ways to overcome it/suggestion for improvement.You can also evaluate your claims by weighing the positive and negative views about the issue. Remember, issues can also be positive...If you follow this guideline, you will know what to write for issue and can focus on what you are actually write. When answering, it is not required for you to write the outline, expand, and new dimension as the heading. Just write your essay as usual and follow the guide given. Here is an example [issue regarding P2P]Outline: Many users (stakeholder mentioned) of P2P used to give and accept copyrighted materials without permission or authorization although the rules and regulations outlined omit users from doing so. (a specific situation given)Expand: There are many individuals involve in file sharing of copyrighted materials. This lead to trouble where copyright holders face problems relating to mass litigation (the process of bringing or contesting a lawsuit ). The development of their product also will be disrupted. New Dimension: The challenges facing copyright holders highlight that current copyright law and enforcement may not be sufficient in dealing with rapidly developing new technologies and uses. Although with the existence of various international treaties, the variation that exist among countries create difficulties for the protection of copyright. =D Hope this help.. how do you guys usually answer such question? mind sharing?
