Microsoft Office Live

What is Microsoft Office Live?

Microsoft Office Live is a set on online designed for people and small businesses interested in creating a website or storing and sharing documents online. There is a file limit and is free.

IF used commonly worldwide, what sort of an impact is it likely to have on the nature of work?

The impact Microsoft Office Live on the nature of work if it used worldwide:
- person can protect various files
- people working on the same time (but work out on the parts of the document your working on together)
- it will be easy for productive work as sharing documents online will decrease the trouble taken to locate people.
- Less work you need to do at the business and personal level as it is set up for you. (Change the structure of businesses)
- File limit is a disadvantage as it could be an issue.
- Every business would need a high capacity internet. So more people will demand faster internet.

Cloud Computing:
most of what you do, the resources come from the internet.

Instant Messaging Group Project -

Today we started on our IM project. Me, Marjorie and Emily are creating a powerpoint on Instant Messaging to report to our IPT class.

Our powerpoint slides have already consisted of :
1. What Instant Messaging is.
2. Example of IM
3. Advantages of IM
4. Disadvantages of IM

Instant Messaging is a form of real-time communication between two or more people based on typed text. The text is conveyed through devices connected over a network such as the Internet.

Today we were discussing the advantages involved in Instant Messaging and how IM does not involve additional costs because it is used instead of Phone. It is also a good form of communication because there are multiple converstaions happening at once. Also the few disadvantages invovled such as security risks and how it is time consuming for adolescents.
