...Compare the advantages and disadvantages of media for communicating information. In comparison with previous years, today we have great opportunities for getting information from different sources with the help of media and undoubtedly, books, radios, and TVs are the most effective and popular media for communicating information. It is almost unquestionable that all of them have irreplaceable role in human life, however, we can claim that all of them have both advantages and disadvantages for our lives and I am going to enumerate some of them below. Firstly it is undeniable fact that compared with TVs and radios books have longer history, precisely, they probably invented before other kinds of media. The main advantage of the books is that they contain necessary information and people can easily get them from libraries and bookshops. Nevertheless, development of technology decreases the interest in books and makes them tend to get such information from internet. In comparison with books, radios do not make worse the eyesight and waste their time, to say exactly, it only can be listened and this function makes tem useful. Furthermore, it is also considered that, most times radios are effective for getting daily news and major changes all over the world. As the life continues, radio becoming an old fashioned one and pass its role to TVs. Although sometimes TVs waste our time and can be damage children's psychology with violent scene, some pros such as visuality , variety...

There are always advantages and disadvantages to any merger; one prospect of this merger is to regain stability both financially and collectively. While the use of the internet is useful with business communications, and the editing of file information via e-mail correspondence, everyone must use caution when doing so for security reasons and HIPAA rules on patient privacy. The internet can also allow for education of certain topics; such as Diabetes and Heart issues. Health Literacy can be used by social media as a means of helping people understand a topic that they may not quite understand. This can also be beneficial in small towns where there may be limited or no health care for individuals. “Health Care providers need to recognize consumers use social media as a source of information on providers. They find forums, read reviews and compare ratings collected on doctors or health care providers.” (Parker, 2012) With this in mind, communication with the public, and the facilities current staff, and patients need to use caution when sharing ANY personal information while on the internet. Always make sure that you are using protected sites, and be aware of people in close proximity to you that could see this information. It may seem overdramatic now, but if you are of victim of identity theft, or a HIPAA violation you may not agree. Certain programs such...

Dominic Strayer University August 14, 2014 Introduction Mobile computing has created new ways in which information can be accessed and distributed. The use of wireless networking has been a major contributor factor in utilization of mobile computing. Nurses are now better suited to monitor patient’s vital signs preventing the need for periodic doctors’ visits to perform readings such as glucose levels and blood pressure readings. Compare and contrast monitoring of patient vital signs using mobile computing technology to in-patient visits to the doctor’s office or hospital A report in the Institute of Medicine in the year 2000 stated that there are cases where the death of patients was due to human errors within the healthcare system. The report claims that patients dying from errors may range from 44,000 to 95,000 yearly Turban & Volonino, (2011). Mobile technology greatly decreases the probability of errors, for example patients are fitted with tags equipped with barcodes, once scanned the patient’s info is available and easily read. This helps lower the probability of mistakes in hand writing translating. Using mobile technology also allows the doctor the ability to go online to insure the medicine he or she is prescribing doesn’t conflict with drug allergies or current medication Turban & Volonino, (2011). Another asset of...

...Advantages Communication is key in a small business. Whether communicating with your customers, contacting your vendors or sharing relevant information about your business, your information must come through in an accurate and preferably winsome way. In a technologically focused business climate, technology is an important facet of your ability to communicate. There are several advantages to using technology over more traditional means of communication. True Cost of Ownership The true cost of technology to communicate when you compare it with much slower means of communication such as mail delivery is relatively low. As technology continues to be standardized and made more efficient, the cost of using it in communication continues to decline. While the actual cost of a traditional communication method such as mailing a letter may be very small, the actual cost in lost efficiency and misplaced letters should be considered carefully. In a small business, some things can wait, while others simply cannot. Efficiency When communicating with technology, you can find and deliver data to your employee or customer anywhere. When you need to contact your employee on the field, you can text message or email his smartphone or tablet both simple and complex information rather than he being forced to wait until he arrives back at your facility to receive it.

...DELONE 03-03-2013 1. Evaluate the reasons Social Media Marketing has become exceedingly popular among businesses of all sizes. New communication technologies provide people an environment in where participation and discussion is the basis and where people can share their thoughts, ideas and creations. This virtual environment‐ that is called as social media ‐ is a user based environment and seems to be important in terms of bringing crowds and people together and increasing the interaction among them (Vural &Bat, 2010). This interaction creates a good and profitable opportunity for people and companies in terms of marketing and advertising. Sometimes it is even observed that the border between the virtual and the real world appears to blur. Moreover, it is possible to find new friends in this world, share your social and political opinions with others, and even to take serious decisions so as to get married with the ones whom you meet in this world. Social media, which is on a rapid rise especially among youngsters in terms of usage value, seems to be a serious competitor to today's traditional media and even threaten it. Since Social Media Marketing is fast and attractive, it is addressing a lot of people today. More people, particularly young people, are spending less time watching television and listening to the radio and more time online, according to a survey of consumer digital media and entertainment habits run in 2007 by IBM.

...point and click an icon in order to execute a program, in Linux the command line is like typing out the directions for your computer so it knows exactly where to look. Linux is being utilized in many different applications from business databases, cell phones, and even the New York stock exchange. Linux, however, is hardly considered a “personal computer” OS because of its limitations in personal computing. Although a Linux GUI desktop does exist, the command line interface is considered an advanced program and not for the faint of heart. Linux however holds many advantages in database software, server maintenance, code development and computer programming. The Linux “language” is close to coding language and the kernel is more secure than, say, the Windows Kernel. This advantage is encouraging to businesses and anyone else looking to keep or store sensitive data. Linux is a solid OS to use when handling such information when confidentiality is key. Like the other OS there are different means for file editing. File editors in Linux run a bit differently from a standard text editor or e-mail. Take for instance, VI. VI is a common text editor that comes with most distributions as a part of the standard package. VI is a more powerful tool than a standard notepad as the different modes allow you to type in the capacity of, such as, a .bat file with little to no conversion, but as the raw filr. The...
