All three components are very important in their own way. The laptop is allowing me to attend college online, the cell phone is very crucial for emergencies while traveling with my children and family and the IPod Touch for entertainment purposes.
●
Which applications will you be using on these devices?
I will be using Microsoft office including Excel, Word and Power Point as well as
Microsoft Explorer and Mozilla Fire Fox.
●
How may these devices change your life in terms of benefits and risks?
The benefits are as follows:
My laptop allows me to continue my education online, cuts down on shopping time, searching and comparing prices and it allows me to keep in touch with my family around the world via face book.
With my IPod Touch it is great for sorting all of my music, no more need of physical CD’s.
My GPS is my best friend on the road since I am not the best at driving directions. It allows me to get around with a lot more confidence in getting to the place where I need to be without getting lost.
My Cell Phone provides me with calling and texting capability on the fly.
The Risks of all of these devices is the amount of money that you put into them but I think the most troublesome risk is Cybertheft.
