E-goverment

I think direct-gov is a great website for nearly anything you need government related; the information on the website is extremely helpful and of course it is all genuine as it is from the government. The website is pretty easy to navigate and you can find whatever you are looking for that you want government related of course.   

downloadable services

One of the main reasons you should download the product than buy the physical copy is that it is much quicker than going out and purchasing the physical product and it will save travel costs and also save time as most things like music can be downloaded via iTunes very quickly. Another reason is that you generally do not have to leave your house which is a big bonus if the weather is not great.  

One of the problems that you could possibly encounter when downloading products is there may be viruses attached to the product which may infect your computer; however this is not so evident in services like iTunes etc.

It generally fulfils its purpose very well especially if you download from the iTunes store or play store as these are legal unlike other services which people may use instead of the legal services to avoid costs but doing this may threaten their computer via viruses which could possibly slow the device down that they are using at that time and any other device they may transfer the product to.   

real time information

Earlier today i used a little bit of real time information to plan 2 routes both routes were to the same place (Olympic park,London) one route was via car and another was via train i found that planning a route for the train was much trickier as there was a lot more options which you had and you also needed to catch 2 trains meaning double the planning. The planning for the car journey was much quicker as it was very quick and all you needed to do was put where you were going and where you are setting of from.

Summary of E-mail

To most people email seems a simple subject with most people thinking that it is just typing and then a click on the send button.

Email is shorthand term meaning Electronic Mail. Email much the same as a letter, only that it is exchanged in a different way. Computers use a protocol suite to send email messages in the form of packets. The first thing you need to send and receive emails is an email address. When you create an account with an Internet Service Provider you are usually given an email address to send from and receive emails. If this isn't the case you can create an email address / account at web sites such as yahoo, hotmail and gmail.

When you use a program on your computer (like Outlook or Thunderbird) to send and receive your email, the program communicates directly with your email server. To receive email, the program uses a program which checks for new incoming messages, downloads them to your computer, and deletes them from the server. To send email, it uses a Simple Mail Transfer Protocol to send the outgoing message to your server, which delivers it to the recipient's email server.

Features of email:
Forwarders-These are virtual email accounts that don't store incoming messages, but forward them to another email address.
Vacation messages- When someone sends you an email, this feature save the message, and then automatically send the sender an email with a message that you select.
Junk mail-Email servers can scan incoming email and filter out messages that look like junk mail before they get to your inbox. They can also check with 3rd party services that flag the IP address of email servers that send junk mail.

facebook chat

One of the communication techniques i have used for quite a while now is facebook i usually use this everynight as a way of communicating with people, one of the main reasons i use this is mainly because it is free and is very fast as it is over the internet. Another benefit of using face chat to communicate is that it is free which is a great benefit if you have no texts or credit on youre phone or other costly communication methods.
