Capabilities of ICT
Advantages of ICT over manual methods of processing data.
Repetitive Processing
Mailmerge
Data Storage Capacity
Speed of Searching
Human error gone
Computer searches are much faster than manually searching
Speed of Processing
Dependant upon speed (Hz) of processor
Improved Security of Data
Fewer mistakes made
Easily backed up
Better security
Passwords
Ability to Produce Different Output Formats
Altering the output
Manually is very time consuming
Word processing/ DTP
Complex search conditions
Factors Affecting the Efficiency of Processing Data
Hardware
All hardware eventually fails
Newer processors are quicker
Software
Software requirements
If not coded well, could have bugs/crahses
Input
Systems can be developed with deficiencies such as:
Further inputs needed that weren't considered
Inputs aren't accurate, validation and verification techniques aren't comprehensive
Suitability of OS
Older applications may not run on newer OS
Latest build of OS may be needed for newer software
Some apps require certain OS
E.g. Most video games don't run on Macintosh
Communication
Won't be able to report it
Bugs may go unfixed
