    Why does apple rank low for being green? Because of their huge electricity consumption and the increase in their consumption in a new facility, which consumes approximately the same amount of electricity 80,000 US homes. Which companies are fairly green? Yahoo, Google and Amazon. Why don't companies want to disclose their energy consumption? They don't want others to know what they did or what they had to do to reach to the position they are in now. Is cloud computing green? No, it's not green as it already accounts for approximately 2& of the world's electricity consumption, and it is predicted that it will rise. Determine if use of IT often reduces environmental impacts or not. Yes it does, because if something was electronically saved, it can save paper. Moreover, It has been said that there are less carbon emissions produced when music is downloaded of the web, rather than bought in CD stores, because you don't need to use CDs.

    One of David Marcus's biggest challenges when taking on the role of President of PayPal was extending the platform into point of sale, and making it easier to pay with PayPal than swiping your credit card. But changing consumer behavior is an enormously difficult task. PayPal played with geo-location leveraging GPS and Wi-Fi for iOS and Android. These technologies are what powers Square's hands free payment system 'Pay with Square. But they found that it ended up being a poor experience for the consumer because it sucked the batter life out of their phones. PayPal also warns that it is aware of the potential privacy issues so PayPal Beacon won't constantly track your location unlike other technologies. If you enter a store and decline to check in, or just ignore the prompt entirely, no information is transmitted to PayPal or the merchant. PayPal has also said that there will be no ads served via the platform. As evidenced by PayPal latest app update from last week, the company is making a big bet on creating an in-store experience for both consumers and retailers. It's ambitious to say the least because not only does the payments company have to change the behavior of the consumer (from just swiping a card) but it also has to convince retailers and the 100 million plus PayPal users that it is worth it. Marcus says that providing a frictionless experience for both parties will be the key to success when changing behavior.

    Bluetooth Low Energy: Allows connected devices to communicate with each other while keeping the energy consumption of the devices at a very low level. The transaction should take place without GPS, other apps running, or even without a phone signal. PayPal Beacon: A small hardware device that runs on its own Wi-Fi, plugs into an outlet and serves as a beacon to other devices. It updates itself and the storekeeper doesn't have to touch it at all. It will track your location according to privacy issues. It is completely up to you whether you accept or decline Beacon when you enter the store. A hands free check in payment device.

    1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. Home and Leisure, Environment, Business 2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. People, British Gas, UK Customers 3. Identify one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. Reliability and Integrity 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. - Smart meter: an electronic device which enables users to monitor the cost of their electricity and gas consumption in real time, and eventually see how much power individual appliances are using. - Smart phones and Tablets - Devices that include smart features such as reading e-mails and featuring applications for users. Both smart phones and tablets today can feature touch screens, without needing a physical keyboard to operate the various actions. - GPRS: General Packet Radio Services (GPRS) is a packet-based wireless communication service that promises data rates from 56 up to 114 Kbps and continuous connection to the Internet for mobile phone and computer users. 5. If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue). The concern that might rise from this case is that the devices, that are about to be installed on million homes, may not as effective as people have estimated. The reliability of the device depends on the device itself and the production company.
