Social impact of IT

How it has affected local community

• This has affected people in local community by people working from home rather than going to the work place and this will be beneficial if you have a family and you would want to be close with them and also from this you would have to see your co-workers .

• Also this has affected people in local community by people using Facebook and texting rather than people meeting up and talking. This has made communicating to others a lot easier and faster.

How it has affected the availability of jobs

• This has made jobs more available because in every business IT is needed so from this people would get a chance to get an job opportunity and also if people didn’t have a job then this would effect the economy and would lose out on Tax and from this lose help from police officers and hospitals etc.

• Plus working from home has helped businesses as they would get people all around England to work for this company but in a better way of doing all this at home.

How it has led to inequality in broadband access

• IT has led this in using more broadband access because people would use this in a daily base for work and to connect with people around the world or with friends.

• Also for people working at home they will need Broadband access to do their work and get access to their work place.

• This would effect on the people who don’t have access to internet like for the people who live in villages that don’t have internet access and this would effect them in the way they wouldn’t know the latest news happening around the world and latest news on what the government is doing in your local area.
