Advantages and disadvantages of internet and mobile phones.

INTRODUCTION TO INTERNET

IT is a network of servers and computers, on which data can be exchanged at a very fast rate. The data

can be exchanged by people connected to this network from anywhere in the world. This has brought

the world much closer and exchange of data ha become much easier due this largest digital network

in the world where everyone having a computer is connected and can connect. Data can be either

achieved or can be sent to some person or a server.

ADVANTAGES OF INTERNET

1. It can be used to access data for office work or home use.

2. Makes learning of different things much easier and free of cost.

3. Information on almost anything can be found out on the internet.

4. Securing the important and confidential data becomes easier and is safe for sure in 90% of the

cases. The data stored on the server is safe and even if it gets deleted, there is a backup to restore it.

Adding passwords or Secure Shell link access to the data helps it prevent from being exposed to

hackers. In this way national database of different resources and criminal database, national security

files can be easily secured on a server which is connected to the internet remotely.

5. Suppose you are travelling and you need to access your home computer for important program,

you can just connect to your home computer using Remote Desktop Connection and access the

required file or program. The only condition is both the computers need to be online.

6. Personal websites can be hosted from your 'OWN' home computer if you have proper knowledge of

hosting a website.

in the world, or even in space.

8. Online multiplayer games have kind of opened a new gaming business for the gamers.

9. Exchange of new ideas occur everyday through the internet. e.g. The game soldat is developed by a

group of people who are continents apart and yet the game community and the game development is

going on smoothly.

10. Business transactions easily happen between two companies who are much apart from each other

using websites like PayPal, e-gold, etc.

11. Another form of business on the internet is to play the game "Second life", which is almost

identical to the real world, except that it must be played using a computer. It won't be correct to say

that it is a game because people use it and spend a lot of time on it as if it was real life. Real world

business can be advertised on the second life, and people actually may call you in real world to makeenquiries about your business. The second life currency can be used in real world by converting it into

regional currency.

DISADVANTAGES OF INTERNET

1. Theft of Personal informationIf you use the Internet, you may be facing grave danger as your personal information

such as name, address, credit card number etc. can be accessed by other culprits to

make your problems worse.

advantages of it outweigh its disadvantages.

INTRODUCTION OF MOBILE PHONES


3/5


What if the invention of mobile phones never happened?

Well, we wouldn't be able to communicate the way we do now. Mobile phone history started

in 1947 when Bell Labs engineers W. Rae Young and Douglas H. Ring realized that utilizing small

hexagonal cells can increase the capacity of mobile phones for traffic at a substantial rate.However, at that time, the technology to do that was still nonexistent.

Mobile Telephone system A (MTA) was the first mobile phone system that was fully automatic.

This was created by Ericsson and was released commercially in Sweden during 1956. Mobile

phones during this time weighed 40 kg. Thankfully, mobile phones have evolved into smaller

versions since then. The Motorola DynaTAC 8000X was the first handheld mobile phone

became available to the U.S. market in 1983. These mobile phones became increasingly popular

during the 1980s because of the introduction of "cellular" phones which were based in cellular

networks that had several base stations located close to each other. Analogue transmissions

were being used by all mobile phone systems. It was Motorola that introduced the first truly

portable handheld phone.The introduction of mobile phone systems such as IS-136, iDEN, IS-95, and GSM started during

the 1990s. It was in the United States that the first digital cellular phone call was made. In 1991,

Radiolinja, the first GSM network opened in Finland. Along with the introduction of 2G (2nd

generation) systems were the tiny 100-200g handheld phones which instantly became the

norm. This change was made possible by improvements in batteries and electronics. The 2G

phone systems were characterized by the introduction of fast and advanced phone to network

signaling as well as digital circuit switched transmission.

Roughly ten years later, 3G (3rd generation) was launched by NTT DoCoMo in Japan. These

mobiles already offer TV and video services, which has made these gadgets even more popular.

Quite a number of these phones can also connect to the Internet, which makes themmultimedia computers already. It is said that in the future, 4G (4th generation) system will also

be introduced. This will pave the way for low cost, high speed data transmission. This will also

offer users with a high degree of synchronization and personalization between a wide array of

user applications.

Advantages:

1. The more you talk, the more you know how to talk and the better your communication skillsbecome. This is applicable if youre a sensible person and keep note of your interacting habits

over the phone. It can be a communication tutorial!

2. Nothing more than a cell phone comes to great help in emergency. You are driving by thefreeway and the vehicle jams and cell phone comes to your rescue. You are stuck in a lone

place, again call somebody and ask for directions.

3. Parents can be a little less worried about their kids by being in constant touch with them.4. If youre a net-savvy, you can have Internet handy all the time and anywhere the signal of your

cell phone provider can reach.

5. Trendy and stylish cell phones can be used as a bait to receive attention. It can be part offashion and styling.

6. From the industry and economy point of view, cell phone companies (communication industry)are flourishing with market capital in billions. This is a good thing for the economy to be

smooth and healthy.

7. Companies find it yet another medium to advertise their products; so another medium toreach the consumers.

8. Nowadays, cell phones are not just phone calls; theyre about messaging, vidoe, songs, games,alarm clock, notes, calendar, reminder, etc. So one equipment, lots of uses!

9. Although cell phone use can be dangerous while driving but sometimes it can be a time-saver -you are driving and simultaneously discussing some urgent matter as well. A sensible and only

urgent usage during driving can be a great help at times.

DISADVANTAGES OF MOBILE

Mobile phones transmit and receive Radio Frequency (RF) signals in order to communicate. TheRF signals from mobile phones fall within the microwave part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

This radiation is also referred to as microwave radiation or electromagnetic radiation. In short:

Mobile phones use microwave radiation to communicate and these are harmful for human

being.

Conversation on cell phones, both hand-held and hands free was found to influence driving

performance. Epidemiological findings consistently showed an increase in crashes associated

with use of cell phones.

More use of mobiles by young children made following problems in their health:

Depression increased by up to 64-fold. Fatigue increased by up to 37-fold. Appetite Loss increased by up to 25-fold.

The popular belief that adverse health effects can be induced only by the heating effect of [cell

phone] radiation is a fallacy


5/5


Students in schools and colleges use features such as games, internet facilities during the

lectures.

Many people have misused the usage on the camera phones such as using it as a hidden

camera to take photos which are private. The spreading on computer viruses is also a problem

for this new technology. Just like computer viruses, these viruses will affect the normal usage

on mobile phones making them to malfunction and causing destructions.
