HOHoho.. long time no see.. I hope you all in pink of health. Today we meet again after I posting my 3thrd posting. What I am gonna do today is share with you all my fourth posting. I hope you all enjoy reading my posting and viewing this blog. Feel free to leave any comments about my previous postings and the latest one. Oh, I almost forgot, the title of my posting today is the impact of using ICT /wireless technology and society. Please view this blog as much as you want. Hope you all enjoy reading this posting!.
First of all, what is ICT? Who can define this? You? Your friends? Me?. According to “Discovering computers 2007” page 250, ICT is ICT is an acronym that stands for Information CommunicationsTechnology.
Second I want to share about the impact of using ICT /wireless technology and society. The impacts can be caused from four devices which are satellites, Bluetooth, PDA and handphone.
According to Wikipedia the term wireless is normally used to refer to any type of electrical or electronic operation which is accomplished without the use of a “hard wired” connection. Wireless communication is the transfer of information over a distance without the use of electrical conductors or “wires“.[1] The distances involved may be short (a few meters as in television remote control) or very long (thousands or even millions of kilometers for radio communications). When the context is clear the term is often simply shortened to “wireless”. Wireless communications is generally considered to be a branch of telecommunications. Wireless technology has been developed and become more advanced in today’s world. For example, applications of wireless technology have developed security system, television remote control and cellular telephones. Advanced and modern televisions today use wireless to switch channels using wireless. Device that called remote control can provide wireless wave and the current goes straight into television and switch the channels. So people don’t have to stand up from chairs and go change the channels manually. Furthermore, the other example is cellular phone. This device uses waves of wireless to connect to other people. Waves that provides by cellular phone can receive signal from far distance and transmit back the signal received back then. Even though, wireless also cannot be exception causing hazardous to health and environmental. For instance, wireless communications and its possible relation bring to poor concentration, memory loss, nausea, premature senility and even cancer. So, wireless impacts such as good in technology and sometimes bad in society.
PDA is first device of using technology/wireless and society. PDA according to Wikipedia is Personal digital assistant, an electronic device which can include some of the functionality of a computer, a cellphone, a music player, and a camera
Phase-Doppler analyzer, a kind of instrument for measure particle velocity and size
Pushdown automaton, a type of abstract device in automata theory. Technology in PDA really advanced. For users who prefer typing to handwriting, some PDAs have a mini keyboard. Some PDAs allow users to speak data instructions into a device. Furthermore, PDAs with camera attach together can take pictures and view them. So technology of PDAs has brought many benefits in technology and society. People don’t have to carry computer everywhere instead of put PDAs in pocket. The functions of PDAs now can be the same of computer and sometimes people called computer mini.
The following device impact of using ICT /wireless technology and society is Bluetooth. According to Wikipedia Bluetooth is an industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs). Bluetooth provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile phones, laptops, personal computers, printers, GPS receivers, digital cameras, and video game consoles over a secure, globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency.
A typical Bluetooth- mobile phone headset.
By using Bluetooth people can send files and receive files when the device connects each other. So the impact of using Bluetooth in technology has created the medium of sharing information faster and easier. People don’t have to spend much money to send information and the transmission is faster than anyone can imagine it.
Next device that cause impact of using ICT /wireless technology and society is handphone. Handphone is device that been using for many years and has become more advance and there are many kind of handphones compare back than. The impact of this technology really strong and some people can live without it. This device is uses to connect people at the different place. Through handphone people can talk and keep in touch among them. This device has many functions now days such as take pictures, store information and can tune to radio. But in society, this technology sometime has been abuse by users. Some users use phone to cheat other people, and do danger things that can endanger others too. For example, some drivers use phone while driving on the road such as playing SMS or talking on the phone. So, the impact of technology and society of handphones bring harm and good.
Last one is satellite. According to Wikipedia a satellite is an object which has been placed into orbit by human endeavor. Such objects are sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as the Moon. The impact of using it due to many benefits such as navigational guide that can guide direction for drivers or travelers. Furthermore, satellite can monitor weather from above, so people can be prepared facing different kind of weather such as storming, raining, or maze.
In short, the impact of using ICT /wireless technology and society has brought many benefits and bad effects in today’s world. It depends on us how to overcome the problems. Technology has brought harm and good depends on us.

Dear shahir,
I like the way how you write your blog very friendly and casual. It shows that you are enjoying the work done and I really hope that you are able to learn more on the suject of language and ICT in all the postings. Just that I couldnt view your pictures and the pictures that you posted in this blog.
