New chapter Life in the information age

Working styles

Blackberries or mobile phones in general can be used in ict in the office, not just computers. In a company the most useful tool is a database. This could be to hold employee details, contacts, find out about people, could see if something is in stock, online information, police recording information of a crime.
Database are quicker than looking in a bookcase or something, this is called search critiearer. However if some thing was not working in the database the whole database has to be shut down. jobs would take longer without ict. we could still do the same jobs but it would just be harder.
If you work in a company you get to all the technology like phones or laptops but you would have to carry them all around.

email in business- this is very important for any company it is very important because it is a main form of communication.
epos- electronic point of sale. A computerised till conneced to a price look up database, and possibly to the live stock.
eftpos- electronic funds tranfer at point of sale. a system that allows debit cards to be used to pay for goods. the funds are transferred automatlically by the machine at the till from the buyers bank account to the sellers.
