October 9, 2012 · Filed under Year 10 · Tagged ,

people use the internet all the time these days and it is important to keep it fast so people can do things on the internet fast and efficiently.

organisation:

the broadband is a key part of organisations because they need it all the time. they use it for:

  • marketing and advertising – the internet has become a very important part of businesses. businesses advertise their company to get more customers, as well as marketing on the internet, allot of businesses have online websites and stores so you could go on it and check prices buy online, etc.
  • communicating and interacting – organisations use email instead of telephones because it is cheaper and more sensible because you would be wondering why the hell did you have a call from a company asking you random stuff, however you wouldn’t mind them sending you emails advertising and other stuff. telephones are used for something important like if if you’ve missed an appointment or its close to it.
  • Information gathering- the internet has become very useful for researches for businesses in nearly every industry. the internet is up to date but text books or other books from libraries may not be up to date information
  • and for emplying workers – now days organisations employ allot of workers online, one example is ‘http://jobseekers.direct.gov.uk‘

individuals

the internet is important to individuals for things like socail stuff, homework reaserch, course work, revision for tests, etc
