effects of I.C.T in the local communities

The effects of I.C.T in the local communities has been able to get rid of barriers, like time, space and distance so they are able to talk to people in the outside world.

Local shops are struggling because of I.C.T. More people are getting stuff from the internet and not going to the shops to buy groceries except for when they have to do a big shop for the whole family.

With banking, people are able to check how much money they have in their bank account due to I.T and are able to see if the money for a purchase has gone through.

Communities are able to talk to the outside world through the power of the internet, Facebook and twitter. people can be more social able now more than they were+ 100 years ago.

 I.C.T is keeping people safe on the roads and in towns via CCTV cameras which keep track of things that happen every where.

People have to keep moving houses just to have a job as their previous employment has made them redundant. This is because computers are able to do a job more productively than a human. 

Families are now buying more gadgets for their kids and so it is costing the parents a lot of money such as iPhone 5, Xbox and apple macs so it is putting pressure on parents.
