Protocols and devices keep data safe because of these reasons. Protocols like Bluetooth keep data safe because you need a pair password to pair up with other peoples devices, and this is a password only you and the person know. Also, change your phone password every so often, and laptop password. Its important that you always check to see if your files are safe in a folder on your computer, try and make sure the folder is hidden somewhere so if someone accesses your computer they can't delete or read your private files. Lastly, make sure you keep your details safe like bank details, if you've typed them into a website, delete your history to prevent someone from finding them out. WiFi is kept safe by passwords. If you have WiFi at home, you can set a password on you WiFi, and make it as long as you want, to stop people from using your WiFi and using up your bill.

The main differences between a mobile phone and a computer are these. One is that obviously computers are bigger, run faster, easier to use and have a lot of more protocols and programs and features. Also, on a computer you can send pictures for free, and faster, when on a phone, MMS messages cost each time. Also, phones can get hacked easier through things like super bluetooth, which is where if someone has  super bluetooth they can access your secret files and do whatever they want with them like put them on their phone or delete them. Only, laptops get viruses a lot easier and phones hardly get them. Also, there are programs which protect your laptop from viruses. Mobile phones can also get Anti-Virus protection, but you are much less likely to catch one on your mobile.A wireless router's antenna technology generally determines its Wi-Fi signal strength and hence its range. Generally speaking, 802.11 wireless routers offer better Wi-Fi range than comparable 802.11b units due to improved antennas. In general, wireless routers currently offering the best Wi-Fi signal range, however, are 802.11n (sometimes called "wireless N") units. Where standard 802.11b and 802.11g routers contain just one Wi-Fi radio and antenna, wireless N routers contain two or three radios specifically designed to maximize Wi-Fi range. SMS range and coverage is different. Unlike WiFi, you cant send mail or call people all over the world for free, with SMS it costs more than double the service providers standard network rate, which can be quite annoying at most times.

The solution for this is simple. There are several ways to do this. I will show you two examples. First, they could send it through email. This is simply log into their email, Send an email to themselves, so type in their own email address in to "to" section and attach a file and attach the pictures they need to send. Then, when they arrive at their office or wherever else, they check their emails, find the pictures and save them onto their computer, which the computer will show you how to do. Another way is Texting them, so plug the camera into the computer, copy and paste the pictures into a new file on the computer, then un-plug the camera and plug in their phone, and drag the folder you made on the computer with all the pictures onto your phone, Then, un-plug your phone send a new text message, send it to a friend who is at the office, they can then plug their phone in and drag it onto your other computer.  An email uses the internet, (wifi) so when you email it is using wifi. When you send a picture its MMS (Multi - Media Service), which will cost money so if you cant do it choose the e-mail option.

Mobile phone Protocols

The mobile phone ways of communication are: Texting, which is a form of SMS and you need another persons phone number to do this, Bluetooth, which is a way of sending files like music and pictures to another persons phone who is right next to you. Also, there is calling people which is where you use someones phone number and you can talk to them through your mobile phone. Also, there is social networks, which are on the internet which you can get on most modern smart-phones now-a-days, which are mainly used on laptops and computers, but you can access them from your mobile handset. Lastly, there is WiFi which is the most common protocol of a mobile phone. WiFi is good because it means rather than pay for the internet when your at home, a friends house or your office, simply just connect to a near-by router.

Tablet/Laptop Protocols

The ways of communicating on a tablet or laptop are the most obvious which is internet, which opens a lot of opportunities for example Social Networks, Blog Sites and also Skype which is a way of video calling people over a webcam. Laptops also run Bluetooth if they are modern, so you can send a file from your laptop to your phone or the other way round. Also these have WiFi, as tablets they should have this because its like a touch screen PC/Laptop.

Wifi is one of the most common protocols because it is used on pretty much every device with the internet on it. It is basically short for Wireless Internet Connection, and it allows you to browse the internet, without using a Ethernet cable so you can do it anywhere.

HTC One X - The effectiveness of the features of this phone are really good because they give you a great experience with the fully HD 1080p quality screen and camera so you always have the best experience and also it is very light so you may drop it easily or may forget its in your pocket because it ways the equivalent weight of a £2 coin. An alternative is HTC Sensation XL which is just the same, but has a few less features and is a little bit heavier.

Acer ePro Laptop - The effectiveness of the features of this are the screen is very big so its easy to see it and also its very fast and modern HiTec. The bad things are the battery life and the fact that the screen has an easier chance of breaking than most laptops. an alternative is Google Chrome book, which is a great, fast laptop with pretty much all the same features.

ePad Tablet - The effectiveness of the features of this are the fact that its bigger and easier to use than the iPad, so when your friend comes round with the iPad, you can show him up with your ePad. Also, the Google Play Store (Android App Market) is a lot better and has lots more and better apps than the Apple Market. The only bad thing  is that its quite thick and heavy, but no-ones too weak to carry round 1kg with them. If you can't get this, you should probably get the Samsung Tablet, which is just as good but a bit more expensive.

Yarvik Minia MP3 Player - The effectiveness of the features of this are easy to spot. The price is amazing and its tiny but very easy to use, so you can listen to music quickly and whenever you like. The only bad thing is that it could have a bit more memory, but it still has 2GB and you can just buy a new memory card if you really need to! an alternative device is an iPod Nano, which is probably about £30 and has 8GB of memory, which is 4x the size of- the Yarvik, so its worth the extra money!

Also, it runs Android, so its easier to use, and when it comes to apps, it wont let you down. This is very cheep, with the cost of £120, and it has a case which makes it into a mini laptop, with a mouse and screen, so whenever they are sitting down they can use it like a laptop.

Advantages

1. If you took out all of your paper files and burned them, you'd be amazed to see how much more free space there is in your office.

2.Going paperless means less bulky filing cabinets and less cost in paper and printing.

3.Not only will it be easier to search archives, but doing data entry work in the future is far more efficient and faster.

4.It takes a day to cut down a single tree, but years to grow it. By saying no to paper, you are saying no to the violent tree cutting system.

5.It makes everything much neater and it contributes to the environmental friendly system because you aren't wasting nature.

6.A paperless operation also enables you to better secure the data that you store. For example, you can set limits on the ammount of data that is veiwable to employees. 

Disadvantages

1.Not everyone is tech savvy in making that transition to a paperless environment, especially when one is used to doing data entry in paper.

2.To achieve a 100% paperless office, one must have all systems automated flawlessly and this can cost time and money.

3.To go paperless means keeping all records electronically, which comes with an IT departments biggest nightmare concerning software and hardware issues that can disrupt work.

4.With the dawn of digital technology becomes the golden age of hackers. Going paperless means vulnerability to unauthorized third party access or even worse, data loss.

5.People mite not be getting a good wage, and may not even afford there own computer at home to catch up on work and stuff.

6.It can take a very long time to get rid of paper files, and set up all of them on the computers, but its not the worst problem.

The threats and risks are things like hackers, losing files over a bad internet connection, a beginner on computers who is a good employee accidentally deletes all the files and its not her fault. Also, if you want to get rid of paper, you may get rid of a file and forget what it said, so then you are left with a massive dilemma. Uploading and using digital content is also a threat because with digital content you have can contain some files or things which are harmful to your computer. Also, talking over the internet may be bad because some colleagues may believe others are being dis-respectful to them over chat when in-fact they aren't. Another risk is company data protection, which is files dis-appearing or ending up with viruses. Copyright of images and videos is really important because if somebody who isn't part of your company sees an image/video and copy and pastes it, they may use it which isn't allowed due to copyright reasons and they may promote your ideas. Also privacy of information like details about the company and office can be unprotected if you don't use them right. Cyber bullying isn't a huge problem but still can be because some people will take the chance to annoy another colleague or bully them over the internet. Spam isn't that important, but when trying to work quickly it can be annoying because it gets in the way and its harmful but if you don't open it up it can't be. Plagiarism is a risk where people can look at your work that you have done and they can copy and paste it and take the credit for it which can be really annoying, and lastly phishing. Phishing is where a fake website will try to get details out of you, for example if someone made a fake bank website and emailed you saying you need to enter your details, you should phone your bank first and confirm they have been sending emails, and if not click off of the website.

I think that blogger is an effective means of communication within a large organization because it has an easy-to-use layout and the design is cool and easily accessible.

Also, its like an online word, because it lets you change font type, size, color, bold, underline and italics. It has many themes to choose from, fitting both genders and what type of colors all people like, also it lets you upload your own photos from you computer to put as your background. Most importantly, its user friendly because it lets you upload anything from writing, to pictures, videos and documents.

The accessibility is good, because it lets you access it from your computer, phone, iPad, iPod, etc. Pretty much anything with the internet.

A blog site is easily accessible, it free and its easy to make. It takes a few minutes to make and to get used to. Its also good because its user friendly and everything is easy to use and nothing is confusing. Its customizable because it lets you have your own theme, background image and it lets you change font, color and size of font. It lets you access it from any computer, or even any smartphone that has the internet so once you've created it you can email people or add to your blogs from anywhere. You can insert images, videos and website links. Also it lets you change your text background color, and it lets your font be underlined, bold or italic.

A blog sites safety issues are that it can be used inappropriately. Maybe by pedophiles who are trying to find out peoples details, so they could track you down. To keep yourself safe, simply only put in your name, by this, no-one can find out where you live or whatever. The reason is that some people may look for your postcode, address or whatever and if you don't upload that stuff you are not a target for pedophiles. To stop these sort of things you can do many things like put a password on your posts, make people the author of your account so only them can see your posts and you also always want to log out when you are going off of it. Go to privacy settings to get all of these opportunities, i will show you how:    Scroll right to the bottom of the page and click privacy as shown; then follow the steps from there...
