17. What is convergence?
- Convergence means different technologies are combined into one device or system.
- For example, a smartphone can be used to call, message, browse the internet, take photos, watch videos, play games, and use apps.
- In the past, many of these functions needed separate devices.
- Today, one device can do many things.
18. Examples of converged devices
- Examples of devices discussed in the slides include laptops, tablets, e-book readers, desktops, all-in-one computers, smartphones, earbuds, digital cameras, digital media players, streaming tools, smartwatches, activity trackers, and gaming devices.
- This shows how technology keeps becoming more compact and multifunctional.
19. Legal, ethical, and moral use of technology
- Using technology is not only about skill, but also about judgement.
- Before doing something online, we should ask:
- Is it legal? Is it ethical? Is it moral?
- For example, copying content without giving credit may be easy, but it may still be wrong.
- A good digital citizen must think before acting online.
20. Netiquette
- Netiquette means proper behaviour on the internet.
- It includes being polite in messages, respecting others in online discussions, avoiding offensive comments, and behaving responsibly on social media.
- Good netiquette helps create a healthier and safer digital environment.
21. Cyberbullying and distracted driving
- Cyberbullying is bullying that happens through digital devices such as phones, social media, messaging apps, and email.
- It can seriously harm victims.
- Another issue is distracted driving, such as using a phone while driving.
- Technology should help people, not put them in danger.
- Users must be disciplined and responsible.
22. Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)
- An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is a set of rules for using technology in schools, businesses, or organizations.
- It explains what users are allowed and not allowed to do.
- AUP helps protect systems, employees, students, customers, and information.
23. Plagiarism
- Plagiarism means copying someone else’s work and claiming it as your own.
- Technology makes copying easier, but it also makes checking easier through tools like plagiarism detection systems.
- Students must always cite sources and produce original work.
24. Green computing and e-waste
- Green computing means using technology in a way that reduces harm to the environment.
- This includes saving electricity, using energy-efficient devices, recycling electronic waste, donating usable equipment, using less paper, and properly disposing of old devices.
- This is important because technology creates waste that can damage the environment if not managed properly.
25. Accessibility and assistive technology
- Accessibility means removing barriers so that people with disabilities can use technology.
- Assistive technology includes devices, software, or tools that help users overcome challenges.
- Examples include screen readers, Braille printers, on-screen keyboards, speech recognition software, graphic organizers, and audiobooks.
- These tools help users learn, work, and communicate more effectively.
26. Why assistive technology matters
- Assistive technology is important because everyone should have equal access to information and services.
- Technology should be inclusive, not exclusive.
- When systems are designed to be accessible, more people can participate fully in education, work, and society.
