These two phones have many similarities but also many differences, the iPhone 5 has a case of metal versus plastic and hard lines against smooth curves. Also the iPhone models have a glass panel on the front and rear of the phone which gives it a hard and solid feel. However now the rear glass panel has been replaced with metal (aluminum). The previous iPhone 4 used steel for its metallic parts instead of aluminium. By using aluminium it lets the iPhone slim down to 112g and 7.6 thick. The Samsung galaxy S3 is a plastic phone with a removable rear battery cover. The plastic is very slim which becomes more noticeable when you remove the battery cover or try and access the removable SD memory card. The iPhone 5 has better features on it out of the two phones but the Samsung galaxy is cheaper.  On a iPhone there is a app store where you can download all different sorts of apps; from games to organization. On a Samsung there is an android store, this is just like the app store but for Samsung products.On any apple products( i Phones, i pads etc) you can use something called siri. Siri lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, make phone calls and more.

Samsung galaxy S3- from £391
iPhone 5- from £529

To send a contact from one phone to another you need to go onto your contacts and select the contact you want and then you can send it by Bluetooth. To do this you need to go to send, via Bluetooth  and then once you get onto Bluetooth select the device you are looking for, this should then start the transmission. The positive aspects of this way of transmitting pictures is that it is fast, easy, it is free and anybody can do this as long as there phone has Bluetooth on it. The negative aspects are you have to be in range with the person you want to send it to, sometimes it doesn't work because of some errors, and Bluetooth could be dangerous as anybody can connect and get a hold of your private info on your phone. Another way you could send the picture is through messaging. You simply get the   persons phone number and attach the picture to the message and send it.

What mechanisms have been put in place to prevent or control the implications described for P6?


For P6 the problems were back ache, head ache and all of that.
So the methods to prevent all those problems could be measuring the chair so you can sit right and so that you are comftable where you sit and how you sit. Health and safety issues sorted, so that you are happy and you are not getting aches. Also other health and safety issues making sure the computer is in the right position for you to see so it is clear and you can understand it probably. 
Also- Spending too much time on the computer can also affect your social life.  Many people spend less time actually taking to their friends and more time texting and on social networking sites.  


This info shall explain the rule- The relevant regulations are the Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992. Regulation 4, is concerned with the daily activities of users and states:

'Every employer shall so plan the activities of users at work in his undertaking that their daily work on display screen equipment is periodically interrupted by such breaks or changes of activity as reduce their workload at that equipment.' http://www.hse.gov.uk/-this is where i got my info from.

A local delivery company have been allocated money to improve their service.  Some of the money has been put aside for mobile technology approx. £500 per driver.  Make suggestions to the director of how he can spend the money, to make the delivery service more efficient.  Give examples how the mobile technology will help the business.

I think the company could put the money towards purchasing a phone specified for work. For example possibly an I Phone  this is so the driver could use the built-in GPS/Satnav, this could help the van-driver with his deliveries and directions to the destination. The Owner of the company, or whoever is in charge, could use the GPS to track the van-drivers to make sure that they are doing their deliveries and not slacking on the job.

Unit 14-P6

Mobile technologies have a huge impact on social life because people would rather text or phone each other than speak to each other face to face. SMS is very useful though because you can contact people you haven't spoke to in a while e.g family and friends. Being on your phone can cause eye strain though if you have been on it for long and that can cause problems with your eye sight. Some phones have internet access also so you can have facebook and put photos from your phone on to there and you can contact other people through inbox.

The big problem with phones is illegally downloading music and other things that would usually cost money. Many companies lose out on a lot of money through people downloading things for free.

Using phones whilst driving is a huge problem. Many people have crashed and been injured really bad whilst driving because they get distracted by the other person talking on the phone and if you get caught on camera you may lose your licence and possibly get a fine.

Samsung today launched the first true compact camera/smart device hybrid - the Galaxy Camera, with 3G/4G connectivity as well as Wi-Fi (which sets it apart from Wi-Fi-only competitors like the recently-announced Nikon Coolpix S800c).

 

Camera manufacturers have been seeing sales of their compact cameras fall for a long time now, challenged by a new generation of camera-equipped smartphones. As the photographic specification of phones get better, there's less need for most casual photographers to carry a dedicated camera, and if you're in the business of selling compact cameras, this is a serious problem. But Samsung believes it has a solution. Take a WB850F camera, and a Galaxy SIII smartphone and blend them.

Easily the most portable of the three laptops, the Samsung Series 9 is only 14mm thick and weighs a paltry 1.2kg. If you plan to take your photos out and about on trips or holidays, then this is an ideal companion that lets you drop in your photos and begin tweaking them straight away.

 

 

 

One huge selling point of the Samsung Series 9 is its excellent screen, which has a pin-sharp 1,600 x 900 high definition pixel resolution. Because the screen is a matte display, it’s not covered with a glossy reflective transistor coating, so you’ll be able to work on your photos outside or in brightly lit areas without having to suffer irritating reflections.

 

 

 

The power isn’t as strong as the other two machines we’ve listed as the Series 9 comes with an Intel Core i5 processor and an integrated graphics card. There are also only two USB ports which can be limiting in terms of connectivity. But the internal SSD drive means that this laptop is very quick off the mark when it comes to booting-up and accessing programs.

D1- Common safety issues with using blog site and how  your data and information can be made safe

Some common safety issues with using blog site could be-
Hackers who try and steal private details such as phone numbers or credit card numbers or your phone number and address.
People who spread false stories or rumours about someone who has not done anything wrong.
Data can be mixed up and can end up in the wrong hands such as a stranger or a pedo.
Some people may upload rude or pornographic images which are not suitable for the site as younger kids or teenagers could be using it.
Cyber bullying is also an issue as people can be racially abused or some can receive death threats which can make the person paranoid or even some committing suicide.

These issues can be solved by-
install a good security system which is designed to stop hackers form stealing private information or you could keep the information on a memory stick so only person or company could access the information if they wanted to.
You could deal with people who spread false rumours by blocking there account from the site or you could ban them from the site all together.
To solve the problem of mixing up the data you could organise it into a folder or in an account which is labelled with a name or title that you can easily remember.
To deal with the problem of uploading rude or pornographic images you could add a security feature which will block any rude or pornographic images from seen on the site by others.
o get past the cyber bullying issue you could add a flag icon where you could report the abuser to the site and they will hand the case to the police so the person who bullied other people would not get away with it.
To could also do a secured password which would allow only you could access and this would solve most of these issues.
