Brainstorm

What do you think have been significant advances in technology over the last few years?

• Tablets , touch screen, smart phones Use in a restaurant• Wifi (In May 2010 Mayor Boris Johnson pledged to have

London-wide Wi-Fi by 2012.)• Cloud storage• Biometrics• Google Glass• http://mashable.com/2014/09/09/iphone

Before you can measure the impact IT developments have on organisations, you need to identify what developments have taken place

increase in power, performance, capacity of systems physical size of equipment.

Hardware - HistoryDell, Microsoft and Google

Dell – 1984 – largest computer firm, selling hardware and computer systems by mail order.

Internet search engines- free tool – extended the popularity of computers

GPS-global positioning system Mobile phones – access to the internet Traditional skills replaced with automated systems

Increasing power and capacity

Processing is fasterMultiple tasks in short time

While power and capacity had increased, cost has fallen – why is this?

Mass production and sophistication in the manufacturing process has reduced costs considerably.

• These days PCs are a similar price than 5, 10, 20 years ago. But due to inflation and in relation to disposable income are cheaper. Years ago deemed to be an expensive luxury – now a necessity?

• How many of you (or within your family) own more than one of the following: laptop, pc, tablet, smart phone?

Computer platformsPlatform-the foundation around which a system is developed e.g. Windows and UNIX

Developments in computer operating systems and collaboration between rival manufacturers have led to software in different versions to run on your chosen platform - for example, Microsoft Office for Mac.

Mobile platforms such as Andriod, iOS, Blackberry

INCREASED SOPHISTICATION OF COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

• PDAs, Blackberries, CCTV and smart chips in credit card formats.

• Bluetooth is a wireless device enabling connection • email • EDI stands for electronic data interchange - it uses standard data formats to

communicate between businesses, for example, to exchange orders and invoices electronically in a standard format - swiftly, accurately and without using paper.

• Satellite navigation systems.

Activity - increasing power and capacity|Create a table that compares examples of the following removable storage devices

Floppy Disk, CD, DVD, USB drive, SD Cards,

1. Describe each one – include images2. Can you find their storage capacity – what does this mean in terms of photos,

music files etc?

3. iPads have different storage capacity – what is the difference between 16GB, 32GB and 64GB in terms of what you can store?

4. Research Cloud storage – find examples of storage and price from different providers.

• DEFINE SOFTWARE

Software is a collection of instructions that can be ‘run’ on a computer. These instructions tell the computer what to do.

LESSON OBJECTIVES – TO LOOK AT P5 “describe recent IT

developments”

Software Developments 1. increased sophistication and integration of

application software 2. specialised support software such as

management information systems, decision support software, expert systems and security software.

3. e-commerce

P5 - Software Developments 1. increased sophistication and integration of

application software 2. specialised support software such as management

information systems, decision support software, expert systems and security software.

3. e-commerce

1. SoftwareSoftware is becoming increasingly sophisticated- video clips and background music incorporated into presentations, interactive online applications, photo and video editing etc..

Bespoke databases integrate with Excel in order to migrate data out of the database into a spread sheet, perhaps to analyse data to present in a graphical format. CSV format – coma separate value

2. Specialised support software

As systems become more powerful, a wider range of application software can be supported. In addition, many companies use bespoke or specialist software to support their business.

• MIS (Management Information Systems) are used to log sales and purchases, monitor stock levels and mange production.

• CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems are used by organisations to develop confidence in customers by managing their interaction with current and future customers e.g. http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/dynamics/crm.aspx

• CAD (Computer Aided Design) is a drawing application. It enable architects and designers to produce technical drawings using a computer. 2D and 3D using digital prototyping.

• Using IT to design a school

• Decision support software – software that is designed to help users compile useful information from raw data in order to solve problems and make decisions.

• Expert systems - software that is designed to perform tasks that would be performed by a human expert. e.g. medical diagnosis http://www.igcseict.info/theory/7_2/expert/

3. E-commerce

• the buying and selling of goods and services using electronic communication e.g. the internet, mobile apps.

• E-commerce and Social Media
