BTEC ICT

[Calum0812]

Hey everyone,
Just started my BTEC in ICT and was wondering if anyone can take a look at these presentations.

The task was to list the advantages and disadvantages to input and output devices for computers.

INPUT: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1lSUQWOKqNxrF2DF_uHnShcvJQQQKgF7lTVJFtiexnlQ/edit?usp=sharing

OUTPUT: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10x79ZSG4c9x_08VPLdeNHQDpWkVrnV7Z-4__WmN8nbk/edit?usp=sharing

Any items I have missed out (struggling on outputs), comments on the writing or general feedback would be greatly appreciated :)

The internet (Or more accurately a NIC) is an output device.

As in you can output stuff onto the internet using an internet connection, e.g. you output these PP presentations onto the internet via your nic or wireless card.

I didn't think of that, I only thought about physical hardware as such. I'll do a little research about how it works. Thanks!

That seems to be everything. I only vaguely remember doing it (in Business and Communication Studies not ICT strangely) and can't think of anything else that would go on those lists.

I was thinking the same. The output list just seems so empty haha

Any reason why you chose to do it as a powerpoint? (are you presenting these?)

And the internet isn't an output device

PowerPoint, yes, because that is what the task required ;)

If I can output via something and it's a device then it's an output device. Pretty much by definition.

Just a friendly tip then, buy its best if you only summarise each advantage and disadvantage on the slide, and put everything else in the slide notes.

You can output things from the internet via your output devices, aka your monitor and speakers.

You can input things to the internet via your input devices, aka your mouse, keyboard, webcam.

Its not being presented, its being read by an examiner so we have been told to do it via the slide. I did ask about slide notes before starting.
