1. How important is access to ICT in
children’s education?
Children
are less likely to be intimidated by, or afraid of ICT than are most
adults. They often approach ICT with keenness and curiosity and thus,
may quickly become adept at operating the technology. Therefore, if
managed effectively, it may be seen as a suitable and motivating tool
for teaching and learning
2. What are the barriers that stand in
the way of universal access to ICT for everyone
who wants it?
To be educated and make it as a good example to
be assure that children also adopt knowledge as how they grow, developing the
skills and finding a way to be progress in learning.
Case Study
1. Can you provide examples that either refute
or confirm the idea that a gap exists between the kinds of healthcare services
available to the wealthy and poor in the United States?
Inequality in economic resources is a natural but
not altogether attractive feature of a free society. [ As health care becomes
an ever larger share of the economy, we will have no choice but to struggle
with the questions of how far we should allow such inequality to extend and
what restrictions on our liberty we should endure in the name of
fairness."At its root, the lack of health care for all in America is
fundamentally a moral issue. The United States is the only industrialized
nation that does not have some form of universal health care (defined as a
basic guarantee of health care to all of its citizens). While other countries
have declared health care to be a basic right, the United States treats health
care as a privilege, only available to those who can afford it... Americans
purport to believe in equal opportunity. Yet, in the current situation, those
who do not have health care are at risk for financial ruin and poorer health,
both of which disadvantage them in society and thereby do not give them equal
opportunity...
2. Should healthcare organizations make major
investments in telemedicine to provide improved services that only the wealthy
can afford?
They should be
if they can handle various issues regards to developing telemedicine, and somehow
only few certain people can afford it that may lead to closure of investment.
3. What are the drawbacks of telemedicine?
What situations might not lend themselves to telemedicine solutions?
Its easy part
of those patients who monitor their health situation it’s somehow applicable to
decrease their annual patient cost but for those people who can’t afford
telemedicine might have gap to their healthcare.
