p6:
Produce a short report in which you discuss the advantages and disadvantages of moving to an IT-based communication system. You should aim to evaluate the social impact and the effect on working practices.


the advantages of having an IT-based communication system are that you can use it anywhere with 3g. 
Another advantage of having it is that you have spell check so you cannot make a spelling mistake, 
and you can talk to people on the other side of the earth for free and you can not only type messages to people you can send pictures, links, and even videos.
You can change the font, colour and size of the text.

some of the disadvantages are that not everything is free and it costs do do some of it. 
Another reason why is because computers are a piece of technology so they do catch virus' and crash and break. 
You have to buy all of the equipment to use these features which could cost a lot.
Also the software and setup cost can be very high.

the social advantages of moving to a computer are that there are many social sites such as facebook, twitter and instagram. These websites are good for communication for free, you can send pictures and videos over the internet and many people can become famous over these websites. Some of the social disadvantages are that you can get friend requests from pedophiles and hackers which can get onto your stuff but if you have it so only certain people can look at your profile.
