Questions
to Consider
- How important is access to ICT in children’s education?
Answer:
It is important to
access the ICT children’s education by doing equipment reliable.
Because ICT wants to organize or to provide each school with a
computer lab. The goal of ICT is give the provinces also the cities,
the schools to get or to flexibility in designing their education
programs and initiatives.
- What are the barriers that stand in the way of universal access to ICT for everyone who wants its?
Answer:
The used equipment
proved unreliable and difficult for the schools to maintain. The
Khanya project team eventually decided to partner with NComputing, a
for-profit company that specializes in creating “virtual desktop”
via software and hardware connected to centralized networks. By using
virtual desktop technology, a single computer can be shared among
multiple users; each user connects to the computer through a device
that is smaller than a paperback book, and each takes turns sharing
the computer.
Cases
Technological
Advances Create Digital Divide in Health Care
- Can you provide examples that either refute or confirm the idea that a gap exists between the kinds of healthcare services available to the wealthy and the poor in the United States?
Answer:
In terms of that
I can give an example from basis in US, but I will give it in a
reality in the field in the Philippines. If that situation given in
the Philippines I c an make sure that all the poor people can
hospitalize in a public I can give it as a free for poor only,
because they cannot afford that services, for only from a poor
people. The goal of the program is to avoid health crises and reduces
total expenses.
- Should health care organizations make major investments in telemedicine to provide improved services that only the wealthy can afford?
Answer:
No because not
all person can afford the wealthy, not mention that only riches can
afford it, but what about the poor they do not have much money to
afford the privileges conduct a services, but if an organizations
takes that for poor then why not but takes for poor only.
- What are the drawbacks of telemedicine? What situations might not lend themselves to telemedicine solutions?
Answer:
The irony of
technological advances in medicine is that while they can prolong and
improve the quality of life, they also create new standards and
expectations, which could ultimately either push the healthcare
system toward a financial crisis or increase the disparity between
rich and poor.
