Advantages and Disadvantages of ICT

ICT has made my project easier to do.

Making a catalogue is a long process, involving a lot of design and

research plans, using a computer and IT based materials has cut down

the time it would take of I had done it manually.

For example, before starting to make my catalogue I had to do some

research on the items I wanted to advertise, using the internet was a

faster more efficient way of doing this. The internet showed the

websites I needed to go on that had the right information.

If I had not used a computer I would have had to carry task out

manually, which is very time consuming, for example,

Cropping pictures down to the right size to fit the catalogue.

The computer does this accurately and more precise than a human can

do, cutting.

Also copying and pasting, doing this on a computer, then printing

means no Pritt Stick: This can look tacky and bad quality. Using ICT

gives the best presentation possible.

others would not trip over them and hurt themselves.

sockets were not over loaded.

Work surfaces remained clear to avoid clutter.

done that day to make sure all my work is well documented and so I can

continue from where I stopped in the next lesson.
