How we spend our free time?
I spend my free time playing football and a various amounts of other sports, I also like to socialise over Facebook, play games over the Xbox, going out with friends and listening to music. Before in the 80’s people used to get entertained through watching the TV, nowadays teenagers and older people mostly use their free time on the net and solicalisng websites to connect with other friends and family. Others ways people use their free time playing computer, Xbox, PS3 games. My parents when younger used to spend their free time meeting up with friends and playing certain games such as hide and seek tag and football games. My parents explained how spending their free time is much more interesting and better now than when they were younger because technology has improved and is fairly cheap to invest in, this keeps them entertained when bored and have spare time.
Effect of local communities?
ReplyDeleteThis would effects the local communities because they wouldn’t get enough business to run their shops as most people would be shopping over the net and online. Overall local shops and communities wouldn’t be getting trade and this would affect the community. Also if the shops are not getting trade this would affect people’s employment and occupation as they won’t have enough money to pay the workers. If that happens the shop would eventually have to shut down as is would become bankrupt.
Employment structure and working practices
ReplyDeleteThe employment structure will de-crease because everyone will buy and order their shopping over the net and online, rather than going to the shops themselves to invest in their clothes, groceries etc. Due to this all sorts of new jobs have been instituted such as I.T. Technicians, Designers, and System Analysts etc. Technology experts have also established all sorts of different ways to interact and communicate with each other such as emailing. New forms of making a worker redundant have been established such as using a simple text message, this saves bosses and managers wasting their time explaining their opinion to the redundant worker. This sort of impact gives media and TV workers more opportunities to get more pay and become more successful because computers provide all sorts of programmes to create a TV show. This also provides jobs for people with computer and technical knowledge to help out when things go wrong for people.
Since computers were invented the environmental and economic factors have become of a poorer quality due to the amount of electricity we use which has created green house gases to rise dramatically. As technology gets better and people buy more improved and up-to-date computers no one knows what to do with the old ones, this creates a problem within the environment as harmful materials and acids would be randomly thrown out into the open. (Weee Directive) Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive, this company recovers and recycles electronic and component materials all over Europe to reduce the amount of harmful materials infesting the world.
