| Explain how New Technology can impact Social Well-being? | New Technology is advertised to promote it, which can influence and pressure people into buying the product. Some people may feel peer-pressured to get the latest device because other people have it and they are being judged for not having it.

| How has Technology shaped our Culture? | Selfies have become really popular because of smartphone cameras and social media. This suggest's that social media is gradually making people more attention-seeking and self-obsessed. The word 'Viral' is now a term that even companies, politicians, celebrities and charities all try to aspire towards by using images/videos in promotional campaigns in the hope they will go 'viral'.

| How has Technology impacted Natural Resources? | Electronic Devices are made up of many raw materials, plastics which come from crude oil and precious metals that occur naturally in tiny quantities. Also extracting these resources uses a lot of energy, creating pollution and depleting scarce natural resources. |
| How has Computer Science impacted the Use of Energy? | Devices use electricity as power and this electricity can be produced from non-renewable resources, and through extracting and producing electricity with these resources can cause a lot of pollution that contribute to Global Warming. Additionally, some devices generate a lot of heat and require cooling, which means that air-conditioning is needed causing more energy to be used. Also, devices can waste a lot of energy due to human error when they are left on doing nothing. |
| How can the Amount of Energy being wasted be reduced? | Virtual servers - software-based servers. Multiple virtual servers can run on a single physical server, so it would run at full capacity, so less energy is being wasted. Devices have a sleep/hibernation mode that causes them to use less power when being idle. Humans should also not leave any electronic devices on standby. |
| How does Technology cause E-Waste? | E-Waste is produced when devices are discarded either because they are broken or people want an upgrade. Manufacturers play a huge part since they make devices with short-life spans and use marketing to convince people to replace instead of repair. E-Waste is a huge problem as most of it ends up in landfills where it can be a hazard as toxic chemicals could leak into the ground water and harm wildlife. |
| Explain the Data Protection Act 1998? | The Act gives rights to data subjects. An organisation must register with the government, the data they want to collect and their uses of it.
