8. Evidencing M1 TASK 1 PART C
This task requires you to make some separate notes which clearly describe the impacts of emerging technology – this may have been touched upon in the descriptions made for P3 but for M1 needs to be more focused,
Your notes need to focus on the following sub-headings:
Enhanced capabilities,
New work methods,
Ease of use.
You will need to give examples of technologies which have contributed to each sub-heading,
M1 – Describe the potential impact of emerging network technologies
M1 requires you to have given thought to how emerging technologies have, or may, affect networks. The effects may best be described by use of examples.
Describe means give a detailed account.
