The Effects Of 4G



The Effects Of 4G:

The introduction of 4G will allow everyone to browse the internet of their mobile phones much faster and will diminish "Buffering." However, this was said about 3G when it came out and within quite a short period of time, the amount of time it took for the majority of the population to get it, it became very slow, hence the need for the move to 4G. So basically, 4G will be very good, but we will soon need "5G" or something else that will allow fast browsing.

4G has and will benefit companies and businesses also, because of the huge usage of emails etc that help businesses in contacting their partners and othe businesses.

Voice Over IP (VoIP)

-Voice over IP (VoIP, or voice over Internet Protocol) commonly refers to the communication protocols, technologies, methodologies, and transmission techniques involved in the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet.

-Early providers of voice over IP services offered business models (and technical solutions) that mirrored the architecture of the legacy telephone network. Second generation providers, such as Skype have built closed networks for private user bases, offering the benefit of free calls and convenience, while denying their users the ability to call out to other networks. This has severely limited the ability of users to mix-and-match third-party hardware and software. Third generation providers, such as Google Talk have adopted the concept of Federated VoIP – which is a complete departure from the architecture of the legacy networks. These solutions typically allow arbitrary and dynamic interconnection between any two domains on the Internet whenever a user wishes to place a call.

-VoIP systems employ session control protocols to control the set-up and tear-down of calls as well as audio codecs which encode speech allowing transmission over an IP network as digital audio via an audio stream.
-VoIP is available on many smartphones and Internet devices so that users of portable devices that are not phones, may place calls or send SMS text messages over 3G or Wi-Fi.

There are many different types of computers. Each one has a different primary function, though they all do relatively the same thing.

Computers

-Desktop

-Laptop

-Notebook

-Netbook

-PDA

-Tablet

Desk top computers are primarily used for regular use in one location, such as a desk, hence the name. they have a higher storage capacity than any other type of computer, they can also complete more functions at one time then others but they lack portability.

Laptop. a portable computer that is designed to fit on the lap (although many use them on a desk/table) it does near enough what a desk top does but is compact and light enough to be moved around.

Notebook similar to a laptop but even smaller, it can do many things a laptop and desktop can do except many do not have a dick drive meaning you can’t play cd's or dvd's on the, they also don’t have a high level of storage though this is ever increasing in newer notebooks.

Netbook. a netbook is similar to a notebook in size but does not give the same functions as it is usually used for emails and messaging, there generally cheaper than notebooks but still do not have a dick drive.

PDA. a device that fits into the palm of someone’s hand, it’s used to send email and keep diary’s but not a lot else.

Tablet. a tablet is relatively new invention that usually ranges between the size of and A4 and A5 piece of paper, the have a touch interface and no keyboard this creates a very simple way of using the internet. they are not cheap and lack in a dick drive and do not match the capabilities of any from the above bar the PDA.

Mobile phone in shops.

As a shop assistant myself, I share the frustration of others on the topic of mobile phones being used when attempting to serve someone. This is annoying as the people on the phone do not pay attention to the questions you are asking them and often ignore you. I think many shops would benefit from a rule or regulation that states that customers on the phone should not be served until they are off the phone.  They are many problems to serving customers on their phone. These problems follow.

1)      They do not pay attention to the things you are saying/asking.

2)      Other customers often get irritated and annoyed at them

3)      They take a lot longer to serve this makes the queue  longer and stops people from getting where they need to be on time thus upsetting others.

4)      As they are not paying attention they often leave things in the shop such as; credit cards, bags and other personal belongings.

5)      They also can bump into others and cause a safety problem as they are not concentrating on where they are going.
