Unit 14 D1

Htc:
*4.7inch screen
*High and quick response touch screen
*8mp camera
*6 hour total battery life

Nokia tablet:
*3 hour total battery life
* 3 inch screen
*Bluetooth

I would pick the HTC because it has bigger screen than the nokia tablet which has a 3 inch screen and it also has a longer battery life. Although the nokia tablet has bluetooth the Htc has a 8mp camera which would probably come in more useful for the purpose needed. The touch screen is quick which is good for a student on the go or if they are doing homework it will be much quicker and more straight forward.


 Ipod touch-
*Very high responsive touch screen
* You can download alot of apple aplications
*8gb memory
*Can connect to internet via wifi
* Has a good quality camera

Ipod nano-
  • 24 hours battery life provides up to 24 hours music playback or up to 3.5 hours of video playback.
  • Includes Apple earpods.
  • Size H3.75, W4.09, D0.87 cm.
  • Internal manufacturer's guarantee 1 year.

The iPod touch is a good choice and I would have chosen this over the Ipod nano but I had to think about the owner because they may have wanted a more simple device that is easier to use such as the Ipod nano.

Macbook pro
*Lots of programs
*Fast and quick
*Smaller than the apple mac
*Portable
*Laptop



Apple mac-

*Great quality camera
*Quick and easy access to the internet 
*You can sync with other apple products
*Has all other apple add-ons
*Video calls/ facetime

I chose the over the macbook pro as its easy to work and it is portable and smaller so it is more suitable for the builder. It also has lots of programs which could help when he is designing plans  for houses etc...

UNIT 14 M2


The main differences between sending photos through WiFi and on your phone are . . .
Sending photos through WiFi are free, whereas if you are using a phone there could be extra additional charges.
It’s free to send images through Bluetooth, but to do this you need to be within range of the recipient. If you use WiFi it will take less time, rather than sending photos through 3g or Bluetooth because the connection will be more reliable.

Unit 14 M1


To keep protocols safe you should put a password on ALL your accounts. The password should be quite complicated to guess and you shouldn't tell anyone. This should hopefully prevent your accounts from being hacked. However, this does not always protect your accounts. You should also change your password every couple of weeks to ensure nobody can guess it or hacks into your account.  Make sure when you close a window, for example your emails, make sure to log out! Bluetooth can be quite easy to hack as the code is easy to read. Wi-Fi  is protected by W.A.P which means it is harder to hack unless you have a password. However if your Wi-Fi is "open" this is not the case as it is easier to hack. Encryption can be used to protect data because it scrambles data. So, if your data was hacked, the person who hacked your account wouldn't be able to see it anyway.
