Class: this link is the second one I showed you in class today.

http://www-05.ibm.com/innovation/uk/smartercity/index_flash.html#/home/

It contains an overview of the impacts ICT can have on society (which we saw in class today).  Each link is clickable, and it has ideas for how ICT has impacted each area, e.g. education, transport, retail, etc.

Watch each video.  For each video, post your response here of ONE way that ICT has impacted that area of society.  EG:

Retail – online shopping.

Education – interactive whiteboards.

Like that.  Not so hard, but it will put this stuff into your minds and that is where it has to be.

Enjoy…
