A number of issues are discussed in these podcasts. Copy each question below to a Word document and then make a comment on each topic, saying how you feel about it. Post the finished document to your blog.
1. Un-restricted Internet Access - Should Internet access be restricted in the UK as it is in some countries?
2. Copyright theft - should you be allowed to access and download music and films for free off the Internet?
3. ICT and job losses - how have computers changed the workplace?
4. CCTV and monitoring - Is it OK to have 'Big Brother' watching every move you make out on the street and on the Internet?
5. Pace of life - Has ICT made life too fast? Or do we need to chill out a bit?
6. Reading and writing - Does it matter that we are not reading and writing as much as people did a few decades ago. Should there be even less focus on skills like writing as many people rarely need to write anything (they type it all)? Should all exams be computer (typing) based?
7. Communication - How has it changed over the last 20 years? What effects has this had on society?
8. Fitness - Is the world of IT leading to more people being unhealthy? Will we all become massively overweight and rarely step out of our houses when computer games become nearly perfectly lifelike and most jobs can be carried out from home via the Internet?
9. Relying on IT - Do we rely on IT too much?
10. The price of technology - should everyone be given free access to computers? Should you all be given lap tops and free Internet access?
11. The digital divide - what can be done about the digital divide? Does it matter? What implications does it have? Are your grandparents computer savvy?

ReplyDeleteVideo games will be very different because technology and ict is developing constantly. Video games will have better graphics and will seem more 'real life' and there will be new ways to play the game. for example we have already moved to wireless with the WII. Soon someone will come up with a new way.
