3. Technology to our everyday life
Technology has a big contribution to our
everyday life. In the past decades, lifestyle is
less advanced and very slow progress, with
the help of ICT / IT many things have been
discovered to fill our daily needs especially
when it comes to providing extensive and
informative information and engaging with
other people . With the continued
advancement of technology, the state's
governance stance has been improved and
facilitated. With the help of ICT, business
development and its growth depend on how
you can interact with people who are also
using technology.

4. Almost all small and large
companies are using technology.
This includes the following:
Commercializing their products and
services, communicating and
maintaining a sound connection
with other companies, making
public the goals and advocacies,
payment and loaning. Because of
the ICT help they no longer need all
the actions manually. They are
more likely to pay attention to other
things that will help their company
or business to more improve.

5. The Web 1.0 is the very first world wide web
(www) in which everything is limited only
because it is not yet known and technology is
not yet advanced. Its users are limited and
interaction with others is not visible. It
followed by web 2.0, the opportunity for
everyone to have the right to become one of
the technologies in communicating and
interacting with others. Here the social media
started like Facebook, tweeter, YouTube and
etc. In continuing grow and development of
ICT, Web 3.0 is created, it is the combined
web 1.0 and web 2.0 that we currently use
and are still in development and discovery. At
this time, communication is increasingly
progressive because of the different types of
social media.

6. • Windows 7 has a graphical
user interface (GUI) that
allows you to interact with
items on the screen using a
keyboard and mouse. However,
Windows 7 is also includes a
feature called "Windows
Touch" that supports
touchscreen input and multi-
touch functionality.

7. • Windows 8 was met with
mostly negative reviews.
Despite its improved security
and performance, many users
revolted against the redesign.
• Because of the overwhelming
criticism, Microsoft released
the Windows 8.1 update in
April 2014.
Windows 8

8. • Part of the reason Microsoft
decided to name the 2015 release
"Windows 10" (and skipped
"Windows 9") is because the
operating system is designed to be
a new direction for Microsoft. One
of the primary aims of Windows 10
is to unify the Windows experience
across multiple devices, such
desktop computers, tablets, and
smartphones.

12. Contextual search
More precise in documents.

Mail merge
Create multiple documents at once
Search Engine
Computer program that search files in world
wide web for a specific word.

13. Sources of Photos and Graphics
• These are the photo’s that we use for editing, and for
developing a graphic. And there are 5 sources:
 Personal and Professional Photos - source that came
from the camera itself.
 Scanned Images – printed photos that used a
scanner.
 Stock Photo Library - photos that bought online
(photo’s that has a watermark)
 Online stock photo library – photos can be found
online
 WWW – similar to the 4th one however there are
many sources in the world wide web that can be a
source of photos.
• I’ve learned to discern of what photo and graphic making
am I getting from.
• Through this lesson, it gave me a broad understanding
more of what are the different source of photo and
graphic making.
• Because of this lesson, I’ve learned to classify many
different sources of photos and graphics
