the mobile phones availible are endless but the recommended tariffs id suggest would be: O2, Vodafone and Orange. i shall visit these websites and find the best deals for the same mobile phone and compare them.
02: http://shop.o2.co.uk/tariffs
i found a pink Samsung G600. £35 per month, 600mins, 1000texts, Phone FREE.
Vodafone: http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/mobile-phones/pay-monthly/samsung/g600/
FREE
Phone £30
Per month 700 250 Best value offer save £90. Get £5 off per month when you buy online.
Orange: http://www.search.orange.com/en/?mot=samsung+g600
didnt have any results...
Carphone warehouse: http://shop.carphonewarehouse.com/pay-monthly/%22
there are a range of phones and deals but all on different tariffs...
i believe the samsung G600 would be a good choice for grandma because its easy to navigate.. its bright and they're relatively cheap. however it would be better getting a pay as you go.. but the phone would be quite expensive.. where as the contract would give her free texts, minutes at a fixed rate at the end of the month.
therefore the research i have done proves that different websites charge different amount for different deals. this means looking around would be the best idea.

Impact of games players
computer games are so popular because they are easily availible to children. this means they grow up around games and like to play on consoles because they are very appealing to them due to their age... also the graphics of the consoles make it better and make it more realistic.
computer games i believe do not make you more violent because it may put you in a mind set but it will not brainwash you and turn you into a maniac... games like GTA and MANHUNT have been in the media's eye for raising violence between children however they shouldnt be playing these games anyway because it strictly says only over 18's on the cover. its the same with alcohol, would you let your 12 year old have a drink of JD and coke? a pint of lager? i think the answer would be no... its the same principle, its the law.
nowadays computer games do not make people isolated because of things liek xbox live etc... call of duty allows you to interact with other players around the world and allow you to establish good communication skills etc.. this links with the next question about being social... i think it is being more social because you are mixing with different people with different backgrounds and different walks of life.

the use of mobile phones...
many people use their mobile phones for many reasons, they use it for work purposes, to be contacted by people and just in general if they are out and need it for emergency or whatever... there are many purposes for these. i use my mobile all of the time, texting and phoning people, playing music, watching videos. i sue my mobile phone all of the time... usually when im bored i'd text someone, or to arrange when im going out etc.. but sometime i do that on microsoft messenger.
the major benefits of suing my mobile phone my bill comes monthly so i can pay for it then when i get my wages rather than carrying coins to use pay phones. however the disadvantages are that sometime my phone runs out of battery... it can lose signal so then i cannot contact anyone.
my phone does fulfill its purposes by being able to recieve and send texts, and same with phone calls.

pirate entertainment
the advantages of using Apple's I-tunes are that you are paying for a good quality piece of music also you know the money is not being leaked out of the business. also they are the correct songs that you searched for because on other illegal download sites. also they are free from virus' unlike some 'dirty' downloads you may find in illegal download ports.
Buying dvd's from market stalls are not a good idea because they are not even worth 10 pence due to the type of quality etc... the money made from the priate Dvd's go into the terrorism trade and promotes it. the dvd's are not worth it, you may aswell go and rent the film from blockbuster or go to the cinema because the rates they charge are quite high for a film you're going to see for the forst 20 seconds.
when downloading the latest hollywood blockbuster, you must be mad!! because: the quality is rubbish, the sound is all fuzzy, you can hear people in the cinema, people get in the way and the filming is shocking! therefore it is a waste of time even trying to find it until the film actually comes out.
this is the same when visiting illicit music downloading sites because you can download things that are named the same but have to relevance to the title at all.. it may not even be the correct band...
I believe that illegal downloading does hinder peoples chances of making it to the big time as a music artist because when more and mor epeople enter illegal downlaoding no money is going to the artist and more people are scrapping cd's etc so hardly any money will be going into that.

Analysing the “good old days”
small business' can replace paper by using Microsoft Excell. this piece of software is excellent for people to use for various reasons because they can adapt excell to do anything they want. they can use excell to their advantage because it is easy and simple to use and it keeps all of the data they want to put on the spreadsheet.
another piece of softweare that could be used would be: microsoft access. this application is similar to EXCELL but layed out differently. however microsoft word is not an ideal piece of software to use because of it not allowing calculations tgherefore it is not great for a compnay dealing with prices etc.
both of these pieces of software have many advantages but some disadvantages... the advantages are: keeps all of the information togther, it can create equations to add and sub-tract numbers which means that projected sales etc can be worked out easier.. also the information can be updated easily than having to keep swapping and changing sheets of paper etc. also information can be lost however it is backed up by the PC. with the use of these peices of software items can be changed and updated easier than it would be on a piece of paper... also items can be emailed to other buyers.. and people in the company. the software can detect errors that are processed in the software. also using a computer is easier and quicker.
the use of a spread sheet over a data base would be that all the information is updated regularly and it is kept together with its simple layout.
the secretaries are affected because they wouldnt know how to work these spreadsheets fluently therefore it would take more time but it would be better in the long run because they would know how to use better software.
new jobs could have been marketing sales, finance conultants etc. these jobs are needed in everyday life because more jobs use ICT.

Tool man ***new***
John is living in the 'dark age' by not using IT technology... however his business can be boosted by the use of technological 'gadgets'.
firstly instead of John travelling all the time he may well set up a website to sell his tools.. then this can broaden his client range and everyone can see his stock... this means he doesnt have to be on the road everyday because he can control it from his own home. Also when travelling he may need a laptop which can be plugged into the elctrical supply in his vehicle and he could replace all of the A-Z's with satelite navigational system (sat nav)which will be more accurate and less time consuming. with using laptop he can keep his stock levels and admnistration up to date as he goes then he will not have to use more time on a friday. also with this he can show clients again on his own website the merchandise he has instead of the catalogue.. also his mobile phone and laptop will have a calculator on them which replaces the calculator.
these are the ways his business will be boosted by technology.
however he will need maybe a usb memory stick to keep things.. details and such on them because if he gets a problem with his laptop he will need a back up... this means he may still have to carry around his catalogue etc.. but it minimises space in the car therefore he will be saving money on petrol because of the excess weight out of the vehicle...

Downloading services ***NEW***
At home downloading is the easiest and cheapest way to view or listen to the media that you want... you can download from places like: limewire, I-tunes and many media download centres on the internet.
there are so many download sites that my family use for entertainment etc.
however some sites like limewire and pirate bay are illegal because you are downloading illegal files that have not been legalised or had the rights to be put on the site by the pulisher... therefore legal action could be made for downloading it.
I-tunes is a website and a music torrent where you can pay for songs and have your own I-tunes libary that only you can access... you can pay for songs, albums and videos and these go into the libary.
however there are many illegal downloading sites all aroudn the world where people upload the latest tv shows or songs or even albums that havent had the rights brought... therefore people are being part of the black-market of downloads.. haha.
but yes it is an easier way of getting stuff instead of going to the shops.. but you can still order items off of places such as HMV, amazon and zavvi...
