The universe of apps has made life more convenient, more fun and more distracting. For example, you can find your lover. But in truth, most apps are designed for those whose life is already convenient. According survey there are total of 1.4 million people with disabilities in thailand. Worldwide, there are many apps which help facilitate the lives of physically impaired. 1. TTRS MESSAGE. This service allows people with hearing or speech impairment to place calls to standard telephone users via a keyboard or assistive device. TTRS operators interpret the calls, which can be initiated by either party. Callers use a text input device to contact the TTRS relay centre, then give the operator the number of the party he or she wants to call. The operator, in turn, will place an outbound traditional voice call to that particular party. The operator serves as a link between the two callers, relaying the text of the initial caller in voice to the other party, as well as converting spoken words to text. The service was first offered only via desktop and kiosk platforms, but it is now available to mobile users via an app. 2.Read for the blind. Wichai Pornpratang, vice president of telecommunications business at Thai Samsung Electronics, said the main technology used to develop this app is a voice recorder which records users reading. Those audio files are uploaded to the Thai Blind People Foundation's server. Then converted to DAISY3 books to achieve an acceptable level of audio quality. With this format, users can serach for and regulate reading voices, make duplicates and place bookmarks. 3.Wheel Go Round It is windows phone application for wheelchair users that locates and rates the nearest wheelchair accessible facilities such as parking areas, elevators, ramps and toilets. The app also allows users to take photos and add places where facilities for those in wheelchairs are available. It is great benefit, but the app could be improved if it allowed users to scan for t

Questions: How does TTRS work? What is benefit of RFB? how can you improve wheel go round? What special techonolgy does Traffic voice information service have?

This article starts with issue of one woman losing her iPhone, which was stolen by someone who lives 20 km away from her. Since there is a app called Track my iPhone, she used this app to go after the thieve and asked for her iPhone back. Not only her who had been finding the thief herself but lots of people are doing it to avoid conflict with the police. This is causing a concern with the police officer because of the increase in phone robbery in many places and if these are gang member, it can cause life to be lost. Even though the police had devoted more resources to combat the theft, but accessibility of police is quite low. Therefore, people usually like to take action alone neglecting the danger that they might find. Therefore, police came up with further and better solution called 'kill switch'. Which automatically make your phone unavailable and unattractive to the thieves.

What is Kill switch? How is it beneficial to protect your personal information on your phone?

How should you select the new phone?????

The IT system is in this article is internet access in flight at 30,000 feet. The Singapore airlines now provide internet for any digital device (such as tablet or laptop). The internet is provided by the self contained telecoms system on board each plain. It get the signal from satellite. Currently over 20 airlines using this WiFI and 3G signal thought to inmarsat's swift broadband satellite network.

Brief Article Analysis 1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. Business 2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. The drivers 3. Identify and describe one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. Security: The system is currently in Beta, meaning it is prone to security faults such as hacking. This could potentially pose a problem to the users, as their location could get found out (where they live) and the hacker could use this information for potnetially malicious purposes. 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. Application: Sotfware that provides an auxillary function to the current IT operating system. 5. Describe the solution stated in the article or find a solution to the concern (issue) discussed in the article. Improve the system's security, or test how well it can hold up against hacking in order to keep the customers safe.

This article tells us the air traffic controller (ATC) which helps us to have safe fly. ATC has access to sophisticated radar systems that provide an overview of the airspace they control, and they have communication tools to coordinate flight paths with the air crew. When the aircraft travel at higher speed than common modes of transport, the time available for pilots to react to a dangerous situation can be quite short. And ATC helps to aircraft approaching an airfield carefully and it checks the weather conditions for prevent pilots can't see other aircraft. ATC uses radar systems positioned at ATC facility to get a real time overview of the aircraft flying in the airspace they control. Many types of radar equipment are served for traffic on the ground. Primary Surveillance Radars (PSR) - The radar sends a directed pulse into the atmosphere, and when that pulse encounters an object it gets reflected back to the radar station. The bearing of the object with respect to the radar station and its approximate distance can be calculated by this. The radar is typically enclosed in a dome to protect it from adverse weather. Secondary Surveillance Radars (SSR) - the Secondary Surveillance Radar listens for messages from the aircraft's transponder. The radar rotates about the vertical axis, but transmits a specific signal on 1030 MHz. This signal is subsequently received by the aircraft's onboard transponder, which responds with a reply on 1090 MHz. SSR Modes - There are different modes of interrogation that compliant transponders respond to. A - The transponder responds with its squawk code, a unique identifier for the aircraft assigned by ATC comprising of four octal numbers. This code enables ATC to differentiate between the various aircraft being monitored, though it can also be used to discretely communicate the existence of an emergency situation onboard the aircraft. C - the transponder responds with the aircraft's pressure altitude, which is the altitude ab

1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. Business and Employment. 2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. The main stakeholders are the cyber thieves and the people getting lured into buying fake products. 3. Identify and describe the ITGS social/ethical concerns in the article. The social/ethical concern in this article is privacy because the cyber thieves are trying to get bank information from customers by creating fake shopping sites. 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. E-Crime: Involves the use of computers, computer networks or the Internet as a tool for performing criminal activities. 5. Describe the solution stated in the article or find a solution to the concern (issue) discussed in the article. Paul Hoare said that customers should buy product from legitimate sites only. You can also check the websites credentials to see if it was approved.
