How to send a contact through bluetooth;

Step 1; Press the menu button on the first phone select 'bluetooth' and 'on'.

Step 2; You now need to open up the bluetooth menu and make sure that you are discoverable so that the second phone can pick it up. 

Step 3; Enable bluetooth on the second phone. Then 'add new' or 'search' for the second phone device on the first phone. 

Step 4; Select the name of the second phone when it becomes 'discoverable' on the first phone. 

Step 5; A little window will now pop up on the second phone and you should click 'accept' to pair up both of the devices. Each phone will then ask for a passcode, enter any 4 number code and press 'proceed' both of the codes must be matching on each of the phones in order for it to work. 

Step 6;  Press 'menu' on the first phone and choose 'contacts'.

Step 7; Press 'options' and choose 'select contact' the select 'use bluetooth'.

Step 8; Select all of the contacts you want to send (you can send more than one at once on some phones, but some phones ask for you to send the individually) press 'send' when all of the contacts that you want to send are selected. 

Step 9; Wait for the first phone to search for devices, and then select the name of the second phone on the first phone.   

Step 10; Select 'accept' on the second phone, and then press 'save' when the transfer is complete. All of the contacts that you have sent will now be saved in your contact list.






bluetooth is short range so can only be used between people that are very close by. But to transfer contacts to someone that is far away you could use text messaging.

the law;

piggybacking;

Piggybacking on Internet access is the practice of establishing a wireless internet connection by using another subscriber's wireless internet access service without the subscriber's permission or knowledge. The law can be broken by Piggybacking when a stranger goes on someones unsecured wifi. The law is only not broken when you get permission to use their wifi. 

war-driving;

war-driving is when you are searching around a local area looking for WIFI. They map their locations of any networks they have found. The law can be broken by Wardriving just the same as piggybacking but many people should not leave their WIFI open for strangers to use. Even if you know the person who owns this WIFI it is still illegal to use even though it doesn't have a passcode on it.

social life;

human interaction;

Human interactions are links between human interactions and social networks. The problem with no social life is that you are always inside on you electrical device and you are not breathing in fresh air. You can get very ill from this because you are hardly moving.

health issues;

You can get health issues from being on your iPod, mobile phone, tablet, laptop etc- because if you are on them too much then you will be straining your eyes and you might end up having to get glasses. Your eyes will also become sore and itchy. The law suggests that you take breaks from looking at a computer screen 24/7.

unit 14 task 5 p5

You have £500 to spend per delivery driver on mobile technology to improve the delivery service. 
Give examples of how mobile technology can help.

Having researching mobile devices i think that, you could send £500 on a sat nav because they could use this to dial in the customers address and it will be easier for them to find the house.

You could also use £500 on a mobile phone to contact either your customer or the company you work for. A mobile phone could be useful because if the delivery person gets delayed then they could contact the customer to say that they will be running late with their delivery.

The company could use £500 on a signature signing device, this would be a good thing to spend your money on because is it a piece of evidence that the parcel has been delivered and it is quicker than using a pen and paper. once the customer has signed it the signature  will be sent of the the main office and it will say that they have signed for the parcel.

Another thing they could spend their £500 on could be a tablet. You could use this as a replacement of a map, or use it to send emails to the main office and anyone else. To send an email you could connect to 3G or 4G.

While the photographer is on location, to send pictures to his work he could use;

  • A picture message on his mobile phone to send it to his work phone (only if he has signal though).
  • Send it by email from his phone to his work email,(if he can connect to a WIFI or by 3G or 4G or EDGE)
  • He could take the picture on his tablet and upload it to tumblr(again,if he can connect to a WIFI)


While the photographer is at home (with broadband), to send pictures to his work he could;
  • Send it by email- home to work using either his phone, laptop or tablet. (WIFI or broadband)
  • Upload it to tumbler then when he gets to work save it to his desktop,using either his phone, laptop or tablet. (connecting to WIFI, or broadband)

The advantage of being at home and sending pictures to work from there is that he can use broadband and plug his broadband into his laptop or computer and he wont have the risk of loosing any connection. Whereas when you are on location you may have the danger of loosing connection and not being able to send pictures that way.

task1 p1 unit 14 (redone)


Student who needs a phone for Internet access;

-For this person I would choose an iPhone I would choose this because you can go on the Internet very easily, go on games, text and ring.
-It may not be a cheap phone but it is defiantly worth its money. If you don't want to pay £30 or more a month then you could get a galaxy ace this is a cheap phone and you can get Internet access on it, you can do exactly the same on the galaxy ace as what you would be able to do on the iPhone except for it is cheaper.

A self-employed builder who is new to technology and has £600 to spend on a laptop for invoicing; 

-For a self-employed builder I would choose them to have a tough-book it would be good for invoicing and is as hard as a rock. If he/she carry's it on a building site and drops it, it would not smash or brake.
-Even though he/she has a budget of £600 you would be able to buy this because it is only £225 on eBay even though it is second hand i think this would be better for someone who will be taking it on a building site every day.

A journalist who needs an electronic tablet when on location;

-I think for a journalist who needs an electronic tablet I would choose an iPad. On an iPad you can do anything you want. You can go on the internet, listen to music, play games& it would be perfect to take away with you when you are on location. On the iPad there is a section called notes you write down anything you want here to make memories. There is also an amazing camera; it depends on which one you buy to the quality of it. 
-You can buy different Mb of memory on the iPad and you can get it in black or white.

A factory worker who wants to buy an mp3 player to listen to on the bus;

-For the factory worker I would suggest an iPod Nano because it can hold up to 2000 songs on it. It is a good mp3 player because if you drop it, it won’t smash; the sound is also very good. An iPod is also good because you can get it in over 10 colours a boy or a girl can have it because there are girl and boy colours.
Another reason why it is good is because it is small and it is easy to pack away. You can fit it in your pocket or just put it in your bag. You can also buy cheap cases for it. When you buy the iPod Nano you get a free pair of apple make headphones with it so you won’t have to worry about finding a good pair of headphones.
