Communication applications
Personal communication e.g. telling a friend about a birthday party
Business communication e.g. advertising a new product
Paper based communication
Flyers
Similar to a poster but much smaller in size
Handed out to people instead of being stuck onto a wall
Posters
Simplest way of communication
Promoting an event, promoting good cause or advertising
Include text, images, colours and come in all different sizes
usually attached onto a wall
News letters
Released regularly
Informs people of areas of interest
Created easily using DTP software and can be printed in standard home printer
Digital communication
Data handling applications
Measurement applications
Microprocessors in control applications
Modelling applications
Driving simulations
These mimic the skills required to control vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses and trains
As with flight simulators, trainee drivers can build up a high level of confidence using the driving simulation before they actually begin to drive for real. Any mistakes or crashes are just 'virtual' and vehicles are not damaged or any people hurt.
Finance simulation
Spreadsheet models can be used to predict finance type outcomes based on mathematical values.
These predictions can show us things like:
Profit / Loss
Over budget / Within Budget
Answers to 'What If' questions
Flight simulator
Used to train pilots
These mimic the skills needed to pilot a real aircraft. there are two types of flight simulator:
PC/Laptop simulation designed to be used at home
Replica cockpit simulations which are large and expensive but feel more like the real thing
