4b- Limitations
of ICT
- Battery Power
- Size of battery in portable device is restricted
- Hard disk drive with moving parts
need more power than new Solid state
devices, but SSD cannot store as much
- O- Solar powered chargers.
- Bandwidth and connectivity
- Wireless networks have restriction in
how much and how far data can travel
- Only people in big cities or with expensive
data plans can access super high bandwidths
- Size
- Smaller devices may not display
normal webpages effectively
- Different mobile versions of sites, or apps
have to be developed, costing money.
- could use holograph or head up
display in the future
- Small on keyboards may cause
mistakes, slowing data entry.
- Small devices restrict battery size
- Devices such as storage, processors,
memory, printed circuit boards and
other devices are becoming smaller.
- Processing power
- Can limit how fast a device can
work and how many tasks it
can get through
- e.g. It has taken years to analyse
the human DNA to find every
gene
- O- Processing chips getting smaller means,
mobiles today are more powerful than the
largest computers 10 years ago
- Major IT companies still need MASSIVE
computers to do their processing.
- Memory
- Limits the amount of data that
can be stored at any one time
- RAM can limit how fast a computer can run
multiple applications at the same time
- O- SSD's are becoming cheaper with higher capacities
- O- Current improvements in compression techniques
- Hardware/Software
- Certain tasks can't be done because the hardware
and software needed for it doesn't exist yet.
- Software and equipment are
constantly being developed.
- People
- May be unwilling to, or lack the
ability to use new technology
- People do not see the technology as necessary,
or think it might be used against them.
- Can prevent mass roll-out of new tech.
