social impacts on IT, communities and people.


Has IT changed how we spend our free time?


The Internet

IT has changed how we spend our free time because the internet could now lead us into many types of entertainment such as music, games, movies and many more. this means we are able to do many things in a instant while using the internet on IT. In the past when IT was not that popular, many people consider themselves to go outside and explore and experience new things. But nowadays most people use the internet to explore and experience new things they have not experienced in their life.

However IT has effected how we spend our time wisely because while using IT to watch movie, play video games and others it is reducing most of our time doing an active entertainment such us dancing , playing sports and more. IT could also cause heath and safety risk when we use it too much such as, effecting our eye vision,

Game consoles

IT has also changed how we spend out free time by the commencing of game consoles. Game consoles are such as Ps4, wii u and Xbox are advanced devices which are used to play video games.

How has IT changed how we communicate?

IT has changed how we communicate with others because after the introduction of social media, there has been a lack of close to close communication, for an example in the past when technology was not that uplifting, people use to meet each other face to face to communicate with each other, people us to each and others houses more often, people use to hangout the outside doors more often. But now when we move forward to the past, technology becomes more advance which means it gives us the ability to communicate with friends without even meeting them face to face or in real life and we spend more time with technology because we can get entertainment any time as we want.




Where we make friends?

IT also opens new opportunity to make new friends all over the world on-line by using social media websites such as Facebook, snap-chat, Instagram and more. Within social media you could have group chats, video conference and so on. Overall the could be many disadvantages about making new friends on-line, some disadvantages could be cyber bulling, image theft and so many other disadvantages on social media.



How and where we shop?

If we look into the past mid-90s, it was unable for anyone to shop on-line but only the where capable to shop on-line by the use phone. But now IT has been developing through out the years, we are able to shop on-line by using phone and internet anywhere at any time.

IT changes where we shop and buy things depending on the price or statues of the item, even though we have the advantage to shop on-line using phone and internet, there is able to be of an appearance of disadvantages included for where you shop and buy things on-line.Some disadvantages which occur within where you shop and buy items could depend on what store you bought the item from, how much the item cost in this store than a different store, the item could be broken, or replaced with a different item.

IT also changes how we shop and buy things by buying items or products on-line using a computer, which is then transported from where you bought the item to your home. this is an advantage because it saves you time instead of going out to buy an item which waste time by waiting in the queue or depending how far the store is to your home.

 IT also changes how we shop on-line by searching to purchase an item which doesn't exist in the store, but searching through other types of stores in the internet, the item could be available, which would save you time roaming around searching for item in stores when you could just search on-line.
